Tarit transferred assets worth Bt100 m to associates
The National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) found former Department of Special Investigation (DSI) director general Tarit Pengdit transferred Bt100 million of his assets to his close associates.
The information was revealed by NACC commissioner Preecha Lertkamolmart on Sunday following a probe on Tarit's alleged unusual wealth.
In March, the NACC voted unanimously to endorse the finding that Tarit had unlawfully amassed assets worth Bt346.65 million. The anti-graft body freezed Bt90 million of Tarit's assets.

Preecha said the agency would conduct a further probe into the matter.
If the former DSI chief could provide documentation supporting the legitimacy of his assets, his assets would be returned to him, he said.
Tarit was sent to an inactive post at the PM’s Office by the National Council for Peace and Order on May 24, 2014.
