Watchara Phetthong, a former Democrat MP, said that he would ask the National Anti-Corruption Commission to investigate General Somyot Poompanmoung for possible negligence of duty. He said it seemed the police chief was dragging his feet.
The police panel had found Thaksin should lose his rank of lieutenant colonel after he was handed a jail term, citing Royal Thai Police regulations.
“Somyot is not taking action over revoking Thaksin’s police rank. But instead he is publicly supporting the legalisation of casinos,” Watchara said.
