Play
Prime Minister's Office permanent-secretary Thongthong Chandrangsu Thursday revealed that Suphoth Sublom, the suspended permanent secretary for Transport, insisted he lost Bt5million in a burglary last December and he didn't explain the loss to the fact-f
Thongthong said Suphoth told the case’s factfinding committee yesterday, which Thongthong chaired, the burglars got away with Bt5,060,000 from his Bangkok home – which was his daughter’s dowry. Suphoth said he had no idea where the large amount of money the thieves claimed to have stolen from him, came from.
Suphoth also recalled what happened on the day of the heist in detail to the committee and said the first police officer he called for help was acting deputy city police chief Pol Maj-General Wichai Sangprapai. As a result the commitee will summon Wichai for information, he added.
Declining to give further details of Suphoth’s testimony, Thongthong said the committee hadn’t discussed checking Suphoth’s assets since he became the permanent secretary for Transport. Suphoth was supposed to testify at 1.30pm but he did so at 11.30am, which was two hours early.
