Bounty for fugitive in Suphoth case
Play
A Bt200,000 bounty has been offered for the capture of the alleged ringleader, reportedly on the run in Laos, who took millions of baht during the burglary at Transport Ministry permanent secretary Suphoth Sublom's house earlier this month.
A senior commander, Police-Col Yanyong Wej-osoth, said “wanted” posters for Weerasak Chuelee, featuring the Bt200,000 bounty, had been distributed in the Tha Khaew area along the Mekong River. Six teams of Thai police working with Lao police expect to apprehend Weerasak soon.
The National Anti-corruption Commission (NACC) will today reveal details of assets found in Suphoth’s home, after an inspection was completed on Tuesday, said senior NACC official Methee Krongkaew. A large number of documents, bank transaction slips and a computer were seized for inspection from Suphoth’s home.
