Ombudsman: Insufficient evidence to probe Sanit

The Ombudsman’s Office has decided to end its probe into city police chief Lt-General Sanit Mahathavorn allegedly earning Bt50,000 a month as an adviser to the country’s biggest producer of alcoholic drinks, Thai Beverage, after deciding there was insufficient evidence to proceed with the case.

After a delay in providing information in the matter, Sanit told the Ombudsman’s Office that there was a mistake on his asset declaration as a new member of the National Legislative Assembly (NLA).

Ombudsman’s Office secretary-general Rakkecha Chaechai was quoted as saying by Isara News Agency following a meeting of the office on Tuesday.
Rakkecha said the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) would determine if Sanit had submitted all related documents for his asset declaration.
