(Photo: Assawin Pakkawan) Eleven government officials, including six immigration police, have been arrested and charged for allegedly taking bribes. In December last year, police and fisheries officials seized five trawlers and arrested 22 crew members for fishing in Thai waters without permission. After court proceedings, the trawlers were kept at the Songkhla customsoffice and were later put up for auction. The fishing boats had been barred from leaving Thailand following the auction. However, the vessels were soon spotted entering Malaysian waters, and Thai police worked with Malaysian police to intercept them. Police began the investigation that led to the arrest of 13 people involved in bringing the vessels out of the country. Arrest warrants had been issued for 11 government officials – six immigration police and five officials working at marine border and disease control checkpoints – for taking bribes, malfeasance and dereliction of their duty. All surrendered. LINK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
