Play
FOR THE FOURTH TIME, public prosecutors have postponed their decision on whether to indict Phra Dhammachayo, abbot of Pathum Thani’s Wat Phra Dhammakaya, and four other suspects on charges of money-laundering and receiving illegal money linked to the Klongchan Credit Union Cooperative (KCUC) embezzlement case.
A new date was set for November 30.
The delay was on the grounds that prosecutors were waiting for the result of an additional probe by the Department of Special Investigation (DSI), Chartpong Chirabandhu, deputy director general of the Office of the Attorney-General (OAG)’s Special Case Office, said Monday.
The case was submitted to the DSI on June 13 this year and prosecutors have postponed the indictment decision pending results of additional probes.
