The Thai Consulate of Osaka successfully settled the case with Kyoto Police and the hotel where Suphat Sanguandeekul, deputy director-general of the Department of Intellectual Property, allegedly stole three paintings. He was released soon after. Suphat arrived at Suvarnabhumi Airport on the night of Jan. 28. Media waiting at the arrival gate were disappointed to find out that Suphat was escorted out through a VIP exit to avoid facing cameras and questions.

The Japanese hotel should have been indicted for having paintings of this famous pornostar on their walls, causing an, legally acquitting, irrestible response by an healthy Thai male. Which famous pornstar? (need to see if my collection is current) Edited January 30, 2017 by NanLaew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainman34014 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 The big let off has already occurred. If the Ministerial Misfits in BKK were serious about punishment they would have told the Japanese Police to bring forth the full force of the law and prosecute him accordingly for his crimes. That would have been the correct way to show other high ranking Thai officials working abroad that such behaviour will not be tolerated. What you are now getting is the usual Thai window dressing until a month or two goes by and all is forgotten. This thief will continue on his merry way among all the other inner sanctum crooks that frequent every Public Office across the Nation....sniggering as they go.

webfact Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 Supat transferred to Office of the Permanent Secretary over alleged theft at Kyoto hotel BANGKOK: -- The Minister of Commerce has ordered the transfer of the deputy director-general of the Intellectual Property Department to the Office of the Permanent Secretary to the Ministry of Commerce. Commerce Minister Mrs Apiradee Tantraporn said today the transfer was not to defend the deputy director-general Supat Sa-nguanpakdeekul but to remove him from the position as the fact-finding committee could start investigating the incident. The committee is expected to finish the fact-funding investigation within a few days, she said. She said although Mr Supat was not prosecuted by the Japanese prosecutor, the ministry would have to pursue disciplinary action on the senior official. Afterwards another committee to be joined by representatives from the Office of the Civil Service Commission, the Justice Ministry and the PM’s Office will be appointed to look into what disciplinary actions could be taken on him, she said. She assured that the deputy director general would be given justice in the probe. Mr Supat Sa-nguanpakdeekul was freed from police custody after the hotel in Kyoto had agreed to withdraw theft charge against him. Earlier last Friday, the Thai consul-general in Osaka paid a visit to Mr Supat at the Nagakeo police station in Kyoto and the DIP deputy chief admitted his wrongdoing and offered an apology for the incident.

elgordo38 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Ah yes he is back home where the perks go unabated. I like scorecards conclusion. One of the higher ups will give him a private/personal reprimand pointing out the WORKING CCTV cameras etc. in Japan. After his wet noodle lashing he will hide under a rock somewhere till it blows over in 6 months time no one will recognize his name. His place at the trough will be reserved.
