Decision soon on Camronwit

Decision soon on Camronwit

JAPANESE PUBLIC prosecutors are likely to announce on Monday if they will pursue legal proceedings against Lt-General Camronwit Toopgrajank, a former Metropolitan Police chief, for carrying a gun into Tokyo's Narita Airport.

The incident occurred last month and he has been in detention ever since. 

While Camronwit has admitted that it was his gun, he said he was unaware that the weapon was in his carry-on luggage. 
“Japanese police have informed us that Camronwit will be brought to public prosecutors on Monday,” deputy police spokesman Pol Colonel Krissana Pattanacharoen said yesterday. 
Police spokesman Pol Lt-General Prawut Thavornsiri said it was unlikely that Camronwit would be prosecuted, as he had no intention of violating Japanese laws. 
An official at the Thai Embassy in Tokyo said yesterday that under Japanese law, a suspect could only be detained for up to 20 days if a prosecution order is not issued. 
“So, public prosecutors will have to make a decision on Camronwit’s case by July 13 [Monday],” the official said.
