97 police officers under scrutiny for Covid-19 allowance swindle

By THE NATION

 

 

The National Internal Affairs Police is investigating a case assigned by National Police chief Pol General Suwat Jangyodsuk since November involving some police officers who had allegedly swindled Covid-19 allowance that was supposed to go to other officers who worked extra shifts during the outbreak, bureau chief Pol General Wissanu Prasatthong-Osot said on Tuesday.

 

“The result of the investigation should be ready in 10 days. Currently, 97 officers in 41 police stations ranging from non-commissioned to generals are under investigation for being involved in the swindle,” he said.

 

“The bureau aims to provide justice to all policemen involved. After the investigation concludes, the victims will receive their full allowance, while the offending officers will be punished under the law and disciplinary standards.”

 

Wissanu said he had submitted the list of offenders to the National Police chief and insisted that all would be punished without exception.

 

“The National Police chief had also ordered the transfer of offending officers at the commander and sub-commander levels out of their areas as per the investigation procedures,” he added.

As harsh punishment as usual? "Transfered" ....?

I'd say pay these guys a decent wage, and then they wouldn't have to be criming. But then I wake up and realize they'd still do the criming.

Offending officers will be punished, ha,ha,ha.

You naughty boys, please stop, do not do it again, it gives the R.T.P. a bad image.

How low can you go, even ripping off your own brothers in arms, yep, its all about me, me and me too.

Well done, keeping up the tradition of the Force

[Misterwhisper 15,708]

RTP officers being crooks and even screwing each other? Inconceivable!

 

Everybody knows what an upstanding, uncompromisingly honest and duty-bound lot this entire force is, and how each single one of them serves as a beacon for the good image of Thailand in the world!

More likely there were 97 officers not on the swindle in 41 stations and wonder how many exactly were pol- non-com-gens

Is there anything lower and more scummy than stealing people's overtime salary for yourself?  Yes, there is. Thinking that it's your right to do so 'cos of who you are.

555 as if the RTP will punish any of them for doing what comes naturally. They will be reminded on how to better cover their tracks so as not to leave a paper trail...

Totally normal behavior for the plod.

[Sakeopete 1,004]

No more sickening as when Boss killed the cop on the bike and the first thing the officer on the scene did was try and help him get away with it. I don't know of many civilized countries where cop killers are protected by cops.
