BANGKOK: -- The Appeals Court today dropped the petition of the Klongchan Credit Union Cooperative’s board seeking to withdraw lawsuit against its former president Supachai Srisupa-aksorn who is now serving 14 years in jail for fraud. 

 

The court gave its reason to drop the board’s petition that the board has no authority to withdraw the embezzlement lawsuit against Supachai although the convicted prisoner had already paid 35 million baht to the cooperative for the 22 million baht he embezzled from the cooperative at the time  he was the president of the cooperative.
 

The court said that  the Klongchan Credit Union Cooperative is a juristic body established under the  Cooperatives Law with the purpose of promoting and protecting the benefits of members.

So many double and triple negatives in that article. My brain hurts trying to get the gist of it.

 

Can someone please translate what it says. I think the court has said the credit union cannot drop the case.

they want him released, the fact he was guilty of fraud doesnt mean anything to them because they got their money back, its all a face saving move.
