According to the secretary-general of the National Anti-Corruption Commission ( NACC), embattled deputy national police chief Surachate Hakparn withdrew his malfeasance complaint against Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin for suspending him on Tuesday.
Niwatchai Kasemmongkol claimed that Pol Gen Surachate did not provide specifics about the causes for the complaint’s abandonment.
Due to this, Pichit Chuenban, an assistant to the perfect minister, had defended Mr Srettha after Pol Gen Surachate, also known as “Big Joke”, accused the former home magnate of wrongdoing for ordering his expulsion.
Police Gen Surachate is suspected of being a part of a notorious money-laundering investigation. He claimed that the premier’s decision to suspend him had adversely impacted his chances of becoming the next national police chief and lodged a complaint with the National Anti-Corruption Commission ( NACC ) on Monday.
Mr. Pichit responded, claiming that the prime minister is the express executive and that he has no occasion to interfere with anyone’s actions.
Mr. Pichit emphasized that the NACC must perform its duties.
“The top has no ill goal. He has the legal right to exercise his authority, according to Mr. Pichit.
Given the current political problems, like as drugs and crime, he said,” I think the top is focusing more on resolving public problems than paying attention to issues with individuals.”
In addition, Sittra Biabungkerd, the attorney, held a press conference to discuss the circumstances of police captain Pol Gen Torsak Sukvimol and Pol Gen Surachate. Both are accused of being involved in Mr. Sittra’s next month-related money-laundering investigation into an online gambling site.
He claimed that the officers appeared to be ignorant in tracing the financial transactions that the two officers engaged in.
