Investigators scrutinise Dhammakaya donation receipts
Special prosecutors have instructed investigators in the money-laundering case against Dhammakaya Temple abbot Phra Dhammachayo to examine donation receipts the temple issued to investors and business groups, which might constitute evidence of money laund
Investigators will compare real donations to the temple against the amounts stated on receipts used for tax deductions, said Khajornsak Phutthanuparp, head of the public prosecutor team dealing with money laundering and embezzlement linked to the Klongchan Credit Union Cooperative (KCUC).
Khajornsak said investigators would also look at links between Phr Dhammachayo and five monks who are his close aides and are in charge of temple administration to see how the temple handles financial issues, including the processing of donation receipts.
Investigators are expected to submit additional information to prosecutors before they formally file the money-laundering case against the abbot and four alleged accomplices in court on August 11, he added.
