Sangha Council to decide Dhammachayo’s fate today
Play
Today could be judgement day for controversial monk Phra Dhammachayo, with the Sangha Supreme Council (SSC) expected to issue a resolution in its meeting.
More than three weeks since authorities began besieging the temple, the ex-abbot has still not been located. The Department of Special Investigation, police and military have faced resistance at the temple from Dhammakaya followers.
The former abbot is wanted on charges of money laundering and accepting stolen items, and has refused to turn himself in for more than a year despite repeated summons and a warrant issued for his arrest.
