Bang Rakham deputy superintendant Pol Lt Colonel Ketchai Nasorn said on Tuesday that the municipality had not yet filed charges because they had just discovered about the missing money.
The municipality found that finance staff members’ signatures were forged in 47 budget reimburements worth Bt793,127.65 in total but there were no back-up documents to show how the money was spent.
Police have advised deputy mayor Noppadol Yoolam to gather initial evidence and details and file a formal complaint later.
