Prawut to face charges linked to illegal radio station
THE national police chief will be asked to forward a case against a former police spokesman to the national anti-graft agency for alleged involvement in the setting up of an illegal radio station in a Bangkok building.
A police investigative panel led by Deputy National police chief Pol General Srivara Rangsipramanakul has already submitted the case to the police chief to take legal action against Pol General Prawut Thawornsiri, who already resigned from the force.
A police source said police chief Pol General Chakthip Chaijinda is expected to forward the case and seek an indictment from the National Anti-Corruption Commission against Prawut, who was a high ranking state official.
A warrant is out for Prawut’s arrest in connection with the illegal radio station, set up during the Bike for Dad campaign in December last year.
Prawut, a former acting Central Investigation Bureau chief and assistant national police chief, was also police spokesman under then national police chief Somyot Poompunmuang before he quit the police force in October last year.
He disappeared from the public eye when he was linked as a prime suspect for a lese majeste offence in the Bike for Dad campaign. He submitted his resignation and disappeared.
