Suphoth to face graft probe linked to burglary
Play
The National Anti Corruption Commission is to launch a graft probe against Transport permanent secretary Suphoth Sublom on suspicion of unusual wealth, NACC member Klanarong Chantik said on Friday.
The probe is in connection with the testimonies of two burglar suspects who confessed to stealing Bt200 million in cash after breaking into Suphoth’s home, Klanarong said.
He said the probe would focus on three issues – whether Suphoth filed false asset statement, whether he stashed ill-gotten gains and whether he was involved in irregularities.
Reacting to the probe, Suphoth said he was smeared by the burglar suspects who claimed he might have hidden as mush as Bt1 billion at his home.
