Prime ministerThaksin Shinawatra says mafia types whom he branded part of the ""axis of evil"" should stop all illicit business by July 20 or face tough legal action including asset seizures.

 

 

He was speaking to 500 staff of the Internal Security Operations Command (Isoc) .

ISOC is to monitor the behaviour of influential people.

 

I give them to 20 July.

If they do not stop,we will seize thier assets and prosecute them because they are unusually rich,evade taxes and cause trouble to people,MR Thaksin said.

 

 

If they stop,we will not rake up their past because we want to create unity.

I want an end.

I do not want to hurt anyone he said.

The government has declared war on drugs,dark influence,corruption and illegal possession of war weapons.

 

 

ISOC deputy director Gen pallop Pinmanee said three committies were looking at the draft list of mafia types before sending the list to the Prime Minister.

 

 

Gen pallop said many soldiers were included on the Interior Ministry list.

2 interesting articles almost back-to-back in today's BKK post.

 

The first concerns the list given to the interior minister of dark/influential figures.

 

The second concerns the ambush/shooting of an advisor to the interior minister.

 

I'm sure there is no connection between the two events.

 

To me, Thaksin appears to be a rather influential leader.
