The Samut Prakarn provincial court Tuesday sentenced a close aide to ex-pm Thaksin Shinawatra to six years in jail and fined him Bt12,000 after finding him guilty of embezzlement and fraud for his failure to deliver a Bt200-million rice shipment to Iran.

 

The defendant, 50-year-old Apichat Chansakunporn, alias Sia Pieng, managing director of President Agri Co Ltd, and a close Thaksin aide, was prosecuted by the Office of the Attorney-General on embezzlement charges.

 

The court was told they took place during the Yingluck government, when his company failed to deliver 20,000 tonnes of 5 per cent broken rice destined for Iran.

 

The court said the defendant violated the contract signed with the Commerce Ministry and embezzled the rice after his company sold the 20,000 tonnes of rice, which his company was obligated to deliver to Iran, to another country.

The court was told they took place during the Yingluck government....

 

Gutter journalism. Smear by innuendo.

 

Of course, no embezzlements ever took place during Abhisit and Suthep's regime, nor will they do so under the military dictatorship? ho ho ho

 

Presumably the Thai tax office will be sending "please explain" letters to wealthy PDRC supporters and perhaps a few army officers too....err, but don't hold your breath.

 

Tax dodgers draw probe

 

The Revenue Department will launch an investigation into whether owners of residential properties worth 40 million baht or more have understated their income and require those who own cars worth more than 3 million baht to report their possessions as part of measures to prevent tax evasion.

Obviously the truth is hitting a raw nerve with you.

 

I love Thailand...that’s the whole point. I don’t like bully boys, and I don’t like injustice.

 

This was obviously a well prepared coup by Prayuth. Suthep has now spilled the beans that they have been in cahoots for the last 4 years conspiring to disenfranchise the majority of Thai voters. Where was the army protecting democracy when yellow shirt armed thugs were attacking polling booths to prevent free and fair elections?

 

Now Thaksin may be as corrupt as buggery ..even as corrupt as Suthep. But if you want to win an election, offer the voters better policies. Don’t stick a gun in their face, silence any dissent, then fiddle the election rules until you have a facade of democracy, so that the army backed elite can win.

 

If you are cheering on those with the power and the guns to ban freedom of speech, that is exactly the world that one day you will have to live in...just ask the people of Germany.

Hi,

 

Guys, while I disagree with most of Robaus' recent posts, he is not breaking any rules. Don't like what he has to say, ignore him.

 

Sanuk!

 

LOL...fair call KS

 

...but as an aside I would like to put it on the record....that this is the first time in history that BB & I have ever agreed on ANYTHING

 

 

Cheers DC
