According to Wissanu Krea- ngam, an assistant to Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin, Pol Gen Torsak Sukvimol has been reinstated as the federal police chief following the completion of an exploration into a highly publicized issue.

Following the establishment of Chatchai Promlert’s fact-finding council, Mr. Wissanu on Thursday revealed the investigation’s findings.

The Royal Thai Police’s four-month analysis revealed conflicts and condition at all levels, but it was not clear whether these incidents were the result of one incident or more, according to Mr. Wissanu.

According to the results, both Pol Gen Torsak and Pol Gen Surachate were involved, with both of them contributing to the wars, he continued.

The research focused on four key circumstances: &nbsp,

  • A 140- million- ringgit bribery case involving a gaming think named’ Pae’ and a authorities commander.
  • The killing of a bridge police officer in Nakhon Pathom involving renowned author Kamnan Nok, Praween Chankhlai, aka Kamnan Nok.
  • The Minnie online gaming community supposedly operated by one family Suchanun Suchaitchinsri, alias Minnie.
  • The BNK Master gaming community. Also, 10 more cases were submitted to regional authorities facilities and the Criminal Court for Corruption and Misconduct situations. &nbsp,

Some issues were current, while some dated up 10 decades, said Mr Wissanu.

The National Anti-Corruption Commission ( NACC), the Department of Special Investigation ( DSI), prosecutors, and courts have all received notifications from these organizations.

According to Mr. Wissanu, Pol Gen Surachate was fired as the deputy national police commander on April 18 after being re-trained with the government on March 20. A administrative committee was established to look into Pol Gen Surachate, and a temporary suspension from the police force was given.

It was agreed to reintroduce Pol Gen Torsak because there were no more pressing matters to be looked into.

On March 20, Mr Srettha abruptly&nbsp, transferred&nbsp, both senior police officers to the Prime Minister’s Office, in a shift to handle the mounting split within the police force.

Kitrat Panphet, the deputy federal police captain, was therefore tasked with acting as the police chief.

According to reports, Pol Gen Surachate may face charges of wealth fraud in connection with online gaming sites.
