NACC to probe police station land encroachment case

NACC to probe police station land encroachment case

THE ROYAL Thai Police has forwarded a land encroachment case involving its police station on Lipe island in Satun province to the National Anti-Corruption Commission after learning that retired officials were involved in land deed forgery.

Pol Gen Weerachai Songmetta, the RTP’s spokesman, said the NACC is expected to deliberate on the case and this will hopefully lead to the revocation of all concerned land deeds.
In 1988, the RTP asked the Royal Forest Department for about 18 rai of land to build the police station, but almost all of the land was encraoched upon by a resort. So far, the police station has half a rai left.
Weerachai said that police have found that the land occupation claim document was unlawfully issued. The same document was also used to endorse an additional 34 rai of land. 
Six retired officials, including land officials in the province, were involved in the land deed forgery, authorities say.
