snoop1130 Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 DSI to arrest Dhammachayo if he fails to surrender this Wednesday The Department of Special Investigation will immediately arrest Phra Dhammachayo if he fails to turn himself in this coming Wednesday to acknowledge the charges of conspiracy in money laundering and accepting ill-gotten gains. DSI director-general Pol Col Paisit Wongmuang said Monday that the department would give the embattled abbot of Wat Dhammakaya until November 30 to surrender failing that it would make the arrest. He said that the DSI would discuss with the National Police Office and the Office of the Attorney-General about the plan to make the arrest. He also indicated that an old arrest plan which was hatched by Pol Gen Srivara Rangsipramnakul, the deputy national police chief, might be dusted off and implemented.

Wilsonandson Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 December 1st is going to be a busy day for Thailand's journalists. So much going on that day. The long stay visa issue, the special meeting of the cabinet and now the arrest of the egg temple monk. Woo! Don't spend your paycheck all in one day. It could be a long month ahead.

Anthony5 Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 This is what was needed for his previous arrest. http://www.geocities.ws/Tokyo/Subway/3537/4209/THA-dhammachayo.html The controversial Thai Buddhist abbot accused of fraud, embezzlement and heresy submitted to police questioning on August 25 after ending a two-day standoff at his sect's headquarters. The abbot of the Dhammakaya Temple is questioned on August 25 Live television showed Phra Dhammachayo, head of the Dhammakaya sect, arriving at the Bovorn Nives temple in Bangkok's old town after agreeing to leave his sprawling headquarters on the outskirts of the city that supporters had barricaded since a warrant was issued for his arrest on the night of August 23. Some 300 anti-riot police and 100 policemen in plain clothes were deployed around the Bovorn Nives temple, which is also run by Dhammachayo's sect. The abbot's supporters had warned earlier they would resist any attempt to arrest him by force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smedly Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 ok first I want enforcement of law as do most people here, the problem with this is that other divisive groups will use this situation and turn it into an opportunity, it is to me very obvious that a lot of people lost huge sums of money that was stolen - thieved - miss- directed - laundered ................you can take your pick call it what you like, but one thing I am sure of, there is a tremendous amount of criminal dirt involved. To stop this happening again (and this is a biggie) temples need to be financially regulated and transparent, IMO there are lots of Thais (in high places) that have used the temple system (hiding and moving huge amounts of money), we all know how corrupt Thailand is.......that is a fact. There are people in high places that want the laundering system to remain exactly how it is, these are powerful people that need to move huge sums of money below the radar, some will argue that senior ranking police/army officers are up to their necks - and that is probably correct, whoever takes them on will need to be very special, what we are looking at is the root or very backbone of corruption in Thailand.........................how the huge sums are shifted hidden and transferred, only a very powerful brave man will take that on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get Real Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 One of the most funny thing is that the posting of bail is up for discussion again. That was something that should go away already last time he was supposed to be arrested. So, now it´s just for him to surrender or get arrested, and after that he´s out again for another unlimited amount of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NongKhaiKid Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 (edited) An immediate arrest if he fails to turn himself in ? Will that be after a committee is formed to decide the next move then issues another press release, possibly with a deadline extension, and after those at the top have had their say which will be the usual ' not meddling and leaving to the relevant agencies ' ? One of the junta's New Year gifts to the nation will probably be a continuation of this soap opera.

webfact Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Dhammachayo not above the law, Paiboon says as deadline looms By PIYANUCH TAMNUKASETCHAI, SURIYA PATATHAYO THE NATION Dhammachayo BANGKOK: -- JUSTICE MINISTER GENERAL Paiboon Koomchaya yesterday ordered the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) to join police in arresting Pathum Thani-based Wat Dhammakaya abbot Phra Dhammachayo, saying the monk is not above the law. Paiboon said a failure to execute an arrest warrant and take the abbot into custody would set a dangerous precedent and affect other cases in the justice system. DSI chief Pol Colonel Paisit Wongmuang said the agency would wait to see if the monk surrenders tomorrow according to the police deadline. If that does not happen, he said the DSI could devise a new action plan with police and prosecutors in accordance with Paiboon’s instructions.

NongKhaiKid Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 " Could devise a new action plan " ? Delaying tactics on the drawing board already ?

klauskunkel Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 I think that all these months the police has been quietly tunneling it's way to the abbot's fortress, under the guise of the ubiquitous MRT line extensions everywhere. Now they are poised directly under His Holiness' Bottom, waiting for the word of action. And when that comes, many muddy men will spew forth like demons from hell with a confused sect leader shouting mantras and waving amulets. I could be wrong, though.
