According to Pol Lt Gen Somprasong Yentuam, director of Provincial Police Region 2, authorities will look into a European national’s say that he bribed the authorities with one million ringgit in exchange for his release from paedophilia charges.
Sex Tourists in Thailand, a recent news documentary that was posted on the Deutsche Welle ( DW) Documentary YouTube Channel, is the subject of the investigation. Thailand has since blocked access to the video.
A portion of the picture talked about a case of paedophilia involving Jens Kirch, an 55-year-old European nationwide, in September 2022.
A stranger was detained on September 11, 2022, during a raid on the Cobra Ale Bar nightclub in Pattaya, according to the Khaosod newspaper,the .
The table, which is owned by a British man in his 60s and his 42-year-old Thai wife, is then closed. For baby trafficking, both masters were detained. On September 24, 2022, Mr. Kirch was detained in his motel room in Pattaya.
The European suspect claimed that seven days after being charged, he flew back to Frankfurt for another one million baht in cash in addition to his parole, legal fees, and other payments.
He admitted to having intercourse with a slight he brought from the bar to his motel room in the documentary.
He claimed he had to leave the country out of concern that the police did treat him badly. He cited the fact that all accusations were made against him in Thai as an illustration.
Authorities will determine who accepted the pay, according to Pol Lt Gen Somprasong on Sunday. It may take the sensor about seven days to complete.
According to the police, the European suspect’s loan had no conditions, so he was free to leave the country.
A notice from Pattaya Court dated November 7 of last year states that the court granted his request to leave for a business trip.
He had a Thai family and lived in Thailand, which is one of the reasons. He operated a company in Thailand as well. The jury warned him in the letter that he had to record by November 14 of last year or risk losing his bail of 500,000 baht. However, the suspect jumped the loan on November 14, according to the authorities.
He claimed that on December 13 of last year, authorities presented his circumstance to the Pattaya state attorney for legal actions.
In contrast to the Thai media’s assertion that there are no prostitutes in Pattaya, Thanyawat Kamolwongwat, a list MP from the Move Forward Party ( MFP), claimed that the documentary provided factual information on sexual workers.
He claimed that because sex workers are prohibited by law, regulators can use this as an excuse to bribe people.
Legalizing sex work is one option, according to Mr. Thanyawat, and adding the employees would be advantageous as well.
