Thaiwrath Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Col Suwat also confirmed that Sub Lt Thanom was still in full police employment, however he has yet to be disciplined as per police disciplinary procedures. In most countries, dismissal from the force would be the first action taken. I can't see that happening here though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dismissal from the force mostly follows after a guilty verdict, and not before. Relieved of duties is standard practice before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's already been fines 25,000 baht and given a 2 year suspended sentence, I would say that's a clear indication of guilt, wouldn't you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
