rooster59 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Loei underage karaoke bar raids uncover "bribes for police" lists Image: Thairath Raids on karaoke bars that were fronts for illegal underage sex in Loei in the north east of Thailand have uncovered lists of names of police to be paid backhanders. The raids were mounted on three karaoke lounges in the popular resort area of Phu Reua on Thursday evening following complaints made over three months ago to the government's Damrongtham watchdog. After a three month investigation the raiding party fronted by the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) went to the three establishments after conducting sting tactics. They found 5 foreign girls under the age of 18 at Phu Reua Café, Sai Thong Karaoke and Man Man Karaoke. Charges were laid against the owners of all three in relation to human trafficking legislation and the sex trade. In addition the DSI said they had uncovered evidence of a list of "many officials in authority and law enforcement" who had been paid sums of money in transfers.

mark01 Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Go into almost any gogo bar in Pattaya and you'll find a list (book) of regular payments to corrupt police and officials. If us "stupid farangs" know the score, then the Thais certainly do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rijb Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 They probably just use the office phone listing from the local police station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lupatria Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Corruption- a chance not to be missed After recent desperate and childish attempts to promote tourism (Pokémon/Durian KitKat/let’s lure Muslims) the S&T Lady probably misses the chance to adopt a brilliant idea from her colleagues in Mexico. In Thailand it would even be possible to enhance the tours to week long nationwide trips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soalbundy Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 This just shows how blatant corruption here is, money transfers !! they don't even try to hide it by paying cash with coded names. I presume tax was payed on the bribes, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainman34014 Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 The Police and Officials will sue the bars for having lists of names and trying to tell the truth about who the recipients are ! Is there anymore room in the 'inactive moved sideways post department' ? Doubtful; so it will be slapped wrists and told to be more discreet in future.

TallGuyJohninBKK Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Quote The names are being passed on for action by the Crime Suppression Division. So the names of the alleged bribe takers are being passed along to the CSD, which is a unit of the Royal Thai Police... And what kind of police and "law enforcement" officials were among those taking bribes from these establishments??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natway09 Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Not much sympathy for the owner here, underage staff will put them in deep sh t & why the hell do they keep records of who the brown paper bag went to. no brains or commonsense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When will they ever learn to code these lists. Using their real name is stupid. Code them. A couple suggestions Looser, Buffoon, Flatfoot, Easy Money Seeker the list is endless.
