GT200 money to be recovered from sales agent

GT200 money to be recovered from sales agent

The Office of the Auditor-General has stated there is clear evidence to prove that the sales agent of the bogus bomb detector GT200 in Thailand conspired with the foreign company to deceive the agencies, and assured that there was the possibility of suing

Auditor-general Pisit Leelavachiropas said the Office’s investigation since 2011 revealed that the sales agent had deceived the official agencies to buy the overly expensive and ineffective bomb detector GT200 devices. Meanwhile, the Anti-Money Laundering Office (AMLO) will investigate the bidding process for the purchase of the devices.
Pisit said his Office has notified AMLO to find ways for sequestration of the sales agent as well as the involved companies abroad since there was solid proof of their guilt. Tomorrow Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam will summon all relevant agencies to discuss the sequestration process.
“As far as the bidding process is concerned, there is evidence that the sale agent deliberately misled the official agencies, including the Central Institute of Forensic Science, with propaganda, which enabled it to push up the price,” Pisit said.
