NACC Secretary-General Sansern Poljiak revealed that strict punitive measures will be taken against Pahyu Suksodkhiew, a Revenue Department agent in the Samut Prakan 1 area, as well as 8 other individuals, some of which are not state agents. The group has been faulted with setting up a dummy export company to defraud 1 billion baht worth of value added tax from the state. Another 23 people have been found to have profited from the crime and are suspected of laundering the ill-gotten gains. The Anti-Money Laundering Office and the Department of Special Investigations have been asked to look into the additional issues. The NACC has also decided to take disciplinary and criminal action against former Samut Prakan Municipal Mayor Chonsawad Assawahaem for allowing a 5 year exclusive contract worth 128 million baht be signed with a private garbage collection company, violating Ministry of Interior regulations against acquiring debt beyond 1 year. -- nnt 2017-06-23
