National Police Chief orders disciplinary & legal action against any officers involved in alleged Dhammachayo escape

 

 

BANGKOK, 4 August 2017 (NNT) - The national police chief has ordered disciplinary and legal action be taken against any police officer found to have aided in the Phra Dhammachayo’s suspected escape to Europe. 

Commissioner-General of the Royal Thai Police Pol Gen Chakthip Chaijinda has ordered that all officers found involved with the escape of the fugitive monk undergo both disciplinary action and criminal investigation, without exception. He affirmed that any suspect in the case, whether they be a private citizen or a public official, would be brought up on charges of aiding and abetting a wanted suspect in leaving the country. 

Director-General of the Department of Special Investigation Pol Col Paisit Wongmuang said authorities are pursuing two lines of investigation: the former abbot in hiding in Thailand and the former abbot has escaped the country, possibly to Europe. 

Pol Col Paisit also said there has been no evidence of the Phra Dhammachayo at Wat Phra Dhammakaya. He maintains that the investigation is ongoing and cannot confirm any details.

More "inactive posts" on the horizon

[darksidedog]

Shame they don't show as much interest when it comes to "Boss" Vorayuth. One suspects a large number of police and Public Officials are complicit in allowing that murdering scumbag to run away.

Ain't you the Police Chief and should be responsible for your subordinate wrongdoings? Poor leadership and perhaps not being exemplary.

How did he get through passport control?

 

Wonder if they have started on translating the extradition documents?

[BasalBanality]

What percentage of the Police force is under disciplinary action or transferred to inactive positions? Doesn't seems like many left to keep it trudging along.

It is certainly a portrait of a man who sees " wise investment opportunities slipping from reach...

Was that the sound slamming stable doors make?

I pity the poor scapegoats.

Gosh! He has at last grown one testicle, but it is a very small one! After most of this year has passed he has chosen to threaten the least important people in this whole stinking can of hi-so worms. Well done you fearless person you! Go Tiger.

[chama]

Kinda going against his organizations corporate culture. 

[Cadbury]

All the huffing and puffing and blame game has started. The rats are scuttling for cover and taking their envelopes with them.

PM Prayut himself has set the military precedent for blaming others.

You can bet now they will try and nail it on some poor cretin who used to empty the rubbish bins at Wat Phra Dhammakaya.

National Police Chief, Commissioner General, General Chakthip, sorry for keeping the list of your well deserved titles and qualifications a bit short, sir.

Sir, probably you don't care a bit as you don't read the press in English, or even more possibly you don't care at all, but what you told to the press, in the English version at least, is very much like admitting you know your(!) men have let the Dhammajayo suspected criminal pseudo-monk escape out of Thailand, maybe even knowing who did it, all the rest being quite sad and vain but usual blah-blah.

No doubt you will previously have been reassured by the aeropage of heavily decorated, covered in brass, Generals ruling over this country that your position will not come under treath because of this, major, 'mistake'.

...Otherwise, under the very sound rule of: the buck stops at the top, you might have had to take the honour to yourself and RESIGN! As, even for the clogged mind of a police officer, it should be very obvious that YOU failed, as your men failed, miserably!

Do apologise for my use of the word 'honour', as I sometimes become excessive about such matters, while it seems to be, alas, quite absent in Thailand, when I would have let myself go, I could even have written about 'ethics', but that would have been about  some other dirty matter, you are, of course, not at all involved in.

My, formal, respects, sir

In a Thai  murder case, I think you have to had the intent to kill the victim

Policemen shouldn't block speeding vehicles with their bodies 

I almost ran over one of them once with my bike but luckily he jumped out of the way 

I think if the Ferrari guy went to court, he would get off with an accidental death verdict

Let's not forget this is Thailand and hes from one of richest familys in the country so the judge would probably have been paid before the verdict

...and nobody saw nuttin'

Seems to me he was gone well before any searching or even suggestion of searching of the space ship.

 

Which means he was helped and those involved have broken the law and should be punished severely.

I almost ran over more than one. Fricking suicide death traps is what they do.
