Prawit: military personnels allegedly involved in abduction won’t be protected

 

Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwan said on Friday (Aug 11) a military officer attached to the Royal Thai Armed Force Headquarters (RTARF) accused of involving in the abduction of a Singaporean businessman for a ransom will not be protected and must face legal action according to the law.

 

Gen Prawit, who is also Defence Minister, was referring to Maj Gen Jaroon Ampha of the RTARF.

 

The alleged abduction occurred on July 14.  Shortly after noon on that day, nine men–four of them in camouflage military uniforms and others in civilian clothes–went in four cars to the office of Surachai Sae Yang, the owner of New Gen Airways and Kanta Group Thailand, in Soi Nuanchan 34.

 

Claiming to be plain-clothes officers of the 191 Patrol and Special Operation Division and Crime Suppression Division (CSD), they conducted a security search on the office without showing a warrant.  After the search, they showed the domicile registration and identification card of Mr Surachai and said they were fake.

 

The nine then took Mr Surachai to see their “leader” at another place.  There, one of them said to Mr Surachai in Chinese, saying that their boss wanted 20 million baht protection money from him.

In the frame for extortion with a clear money trail. But given bail using cash as collateral. Right ?

 

Rotten to the core. The lower ranking ones are done. The higher ones will remain free. A disgrace 

Does the Thai military give out  medals for abduction and extortion?

How else can one buy their rank? 

Prawit is sending a clear message:  If you're going to commit a major felony, don't leave a paper trail!

Nope. Just another inactive post in disguise in the making...

So glad I moved!

With the exception of General Manas, no high ranking officer has been charged to date. He was a fall guy, and more was going on there, than meets the eye. All the others are protected, as are all high ranking police officers, and businessmen. Totally above the law. Any and all laws. Any and all crimes.

 

Little P. Moving Thailand backwards at an astonishing and breathtaking pace.

But all personnel's involved in military coups don't need to worry.
