This scam probably involved billions of Baht going into the right pockets but you can be sure people from both sides of the divide were the beneficiaries here. This touches all the sides like a turd on its way down the bowl.

 

 

I can be sure of which party failed to prosecute it when it surfaced. Your unsubstantiated claim does carry much credibility.

He may be a damaged party but he needs to take that up with the person he bought it off and the DSI may be able to assist with that. 

 

In the meantime the car must be returned to its rightful owner in the UK.

 

 

The UK "rightful owner" is now quite likely the insurance company. Perhaps the ex-MP could make a reasonable offer to the company thus avoiding transport costs to the UK etc. The ex-MP has a case he could pursue against the person or company from whom he bought the vehicle.

shows the type of person thai politics attracts; precious the tantrum

[Stargeezr]

Give the ex politiian some jail time to see if he indeed wants to keep his stolen car.  He sounds  like a thief to me.

Got to love the excuses and justification for self benefit!

Let see now,You first use one reason to keep the car "I paid for an illegal car but since I will be out the money,you should have pity on my loss and be excused from turning the car back". When that didn't work there is always the ole stand by" Do you know (insert your own here) Who my father/brother/son/uncle is?,What my  position is?,Who I was in politics before"

The UK owner doesn't want it back, has a new one already from the insurance.

Maybe they could let him keep the car....then they would only need to investigate people with unusually high bank balances who actually stole the money themselves. Would seriously ease up enforcement and investigation costs on this type of thing

I was too stupid/connected to question why the car was so cheap....help me

Are we talking about a pink Bentley with the trunk full of ear medicine here?

[anon789561]

gotta laugh. all this law breaking so some donuts can show off driving motors that in general are as uncomfortable as shit. can only be used on a track or on the expressway at night and most of the drivers here can hardly see over their steering wheels never mind drive the bloody things. ahh, some of the label obsessed madness over here does make me chuckle. look at me, look at me! my friend drive this, my friend drive that. get a life 555 anyway, wonder if they tracked down my range autobiography yet

Any chance that this concerns a politician who's son apologized today to the PM, and that this was actually the reason he went over the top on FB? Remember that a few years ago a politician from a major party had a Bentley for which he couldn't show an invoice, because it belonged to a Singaporean friend.

 

 

 

 

I was wondering if this may have been a pink Bentley too!

And the rightful owner must reimburse the Insurance company !!!! as this car was very well insured for sure !!!...

Yes but most people don't want a stolen car back so the insurance company sell it on.  In this case there is suggestion of criminal collusion on behalf of the UK owners.

Hiso's with more stupid laws that rip off the world as they have been doing for generations here. EEC law also comes into play no doubt.

 

But whats new in the land of corruption?

 

Mind you would anyone want a car back after its been messed about with by technicians who get there certificates of Mechanics off the web or down at a well know local road.

 

Super-cars need trained Technicians not chancers who would be more at home working on tractors or waiters in tie restaurants, sort of reminds me of a company that started up after doing a runner from the UK where he was a failed restaurant owner then decided he was a BMW Mercedes Euro car specialist, then look what he did another runner just as this story broke

You can bet that the insurance company wants it back.They are only out the additional cost of shiping back to The UK and can resell it.

Yes you are right there but maybe sell it here but think about this

 

All UK drivers have to pay for it with higher insurance premium prices, so every driver in the UK pays a little for bleedin local Hiso's to drive round in super-cars  they never passed a real driving test for.

Its a wonder they can sleep at night worrying about the cost of super-car theft scams. What do you reckon, about 50p per year each?

He should file a charge against the dealer that sold him the car but not the DSI

Try doing some research premiums jumped up 40% over the last couple of years so in my case its around £200+ a year

So you are happy paying the extra, I look forward to you sending me a cheque to cover the increase

 

Even on the wife's car it is £140.00 a year

 

Just to give you an idea

 

Mini Cooper Wife driving was £447.39 two years ago now £605.97 a year just looked at the policy.

Car insurance scams galore going on in the UK at the moment, mainly deliberate 'cash for crash' but not all.

About 25 years ago, friend of mine bought a GPZ 900 ( anyone remember them?)

Seller met him at a service station. Low mileage, good condition, very good price.

Two weeks later Police turned up, original  owner had reported it stolen and got his mate to sell it.

Friend lost the bike and got nothing back.

Be careful out there.

childish hi-so behavior......you bought a stolen car, be glad you're not in jail.

Caveat emptor - let the buyer beware.  Some Dutch bloke here cant get his head around that.

After being told the car must be sent back to Britain, he became furious, claimed to be a former politician of a major party and threatened to sue the whole investigation team, the source said. 

 

Sounds like this former politician has a very bad temper and probably a skin full of ear medicine.

Not a problem. Lamborghini was building farm tractors 70 years ago.

Yes you are correct, Lambo only started making supercars after an Italian snub from Enzo Ferrari
