Prosecutors get DSI report to indict ex-Klongchan chief
The Department of Special Investigation yesterday recommended to public prosecutors to seek the indictment of Supachai Srisupa-aksorn, the 57-year-old former chairman of Klongchan Credit Union, and 11 others on charges of embezzling Bt6 billion and defrau
Another DSI team was still sifting through financial transactions to build a case of money-laundering against the suspects.
Pol Lt-Colonel Banthoon Chimkra, a DSI socialist investigator for human and drug trafficking, submitted the 21,000-page probe report to Panupong Chotisin, director-general of the Special Litigation Department under the Office of the Attorney-General.
This report was for alleged violations of Articles 341 and 343 of the Criminal Code regarding fraud by asserting falsehoods to the public or concealing facts.
The former is punishable by up to three years in jail and/or a Bt6,000 fine and the latter up to five years’ imprisonment and/or Bt10,000 fine.
This was the DSI’s third report forwarded to the prosecutors.
One was filed in May for alleged misappropriation under Articles 353 and 354. Supachai was indicted for that.
The other was lodged in February, accusing Supachai and three former credit union executives with public fraud. The office asked the DSI to probe further.
Supachai has been detained at Bangkok Remand Prison.
