More officers are being investigated including Tuhao's wife who is a police colonel and niece of a former police chief.

The police seized around Bt1 billion worth of assets from Tuhao who allegedly owns the illegal club/casino/drug den in Yannawa that was raided in October.
Apart from Tuhao, 2 other alleged mafia bosses named "David" and "Yuchangfei" are now in custody as well.

2 other mafia boss suspects, "Tony" and "Ming", are still on the run. Ming had left the country, the deputy police chief said.
Former massage parlor tycoon Chuwit Kamolvisit claimed that a politician with a fondness for luxury watches and former deputy minister Thammanat Prompao were linked to these mafia bosses.

Pol Lt Gen Surachet said the investigation will take at least 3 more weeks to complete.

Parliament voted not to hear an urgent question from an opposition MP on the Orange Line's western expansion fiasco.

MFP's MP Surachet said he wanted to discuss about the irregularity within the bidding process for the extension. (1/4)

#Thailand #รถไฟฟ้าสายสีส้ม #สายสีส้ม Image
The MP said the bidding process could cost taxpayers 68 billion Baht in losses.

However, MPs from Bhamjaithai argued that the discussion would involve people outside parliament & it could interfere with ongoing court rulings before coalition parties voted not to hear it.
Surachet said the process was unfair since the Mass Rapid Transit Authority of Thailand canceled the 1st round of bidding and changed the conditions to award the concession to Bangkok Expressway and Metro (BEM) in the 2nd round.
