Big Tao' reveals serious disciplinary action will be taken against 3 marine police officers who allowed the illegal oil tanker to disappear, and is preparing to issue arrest warrants for 'Sia Joe' and his gang within this week. As for the leaked chats, Police Colonel 'N' has admitted that they are his, but denies bribes. Pol. Maj. Gen. Charoonkiat Pankaew, Deputy Commander of the Central Investigation Bureau (Deputy Commander of the Central Investigation Bureau), summoned the investigation team of 3 illegal oil tankers that disappeared from the Sattahip Marine Police Pier, Chonburi Province on June 11, 2024, to a meeting to follow up on the progress of the fact-finding investigation in accordance with the Central Investigation Bureau Order No. 136/67 dated June 19, 2024, which lasted more than 2 hours. Pol. Col. Charoonkiat said that today the meeting concluded that serious disciplinary action would be taken against the three police officers. As for the violation (demanding compensation), this case must be closed first. As for the proceedings under Section 157, the meeting resolved to have the marine police file a complaint with the Anti-Corruption Division against the two non-commissioned officers who were guarding the boat because they were negligent in their duties by not working on duty. As for the station sergeant, he did not fall under Section 157. After the aforementioned legal action was taken, the Central Investigation Bureau would have to consider whether to dismiss him from service or not. In addition, all 9 phones were brought in to examine the data in all phones. The only thing left was the director's phone, which could not be viewed because the file was too large. However, the data was retrieved. It was data from the director's phone, the lieutenant, and the guards' phones before and after the shift during that period. All of them were brought in to examine. It appeared that the director's phone had too large a data file. In this regard, 90% of the data had been examined. As for the bribe, no inf ormation was found. If information is found that there was involvement, 157 will be taken. All dimensions will be investigated to see if it is related to the missing boat, whether it is related to being involved in the wrongdoing, and whether there was any assistance. In this regard, it is confirmed that justice will be given to everyone because it has caused serious damage to the government. 'Police have duties and responsibilities. If they do not do so, it will cause damage to the government. It is not a failure to perform duties that causes damage like this. The damage that occurs must be held accountable. Although I sympathize with the officers because they are still young, but since they know the law as well, they should be held accountable for their duties, work that is ordered according to the plan and the method of taking care of the evidence. If they do not do so, it will cause damage and damage the overall work of the Royal Thai Police. Therefore, it cannot be ignored,' said Pol. Maj. Gen. Charoonk iat. As for the leaked chat conversation between Police Colonel "N" and Sia Joe, Pol. Maj. Gen. Charoonkiat revealed that Pol. Col. Wora-ek or Police Colonel Nao has been summoned to give a statement. He admitted that it was his chat, and that it was a conversation between himself and Sia Joe. However, he denied any involvement in the benefits, claiming that he had already denied in the chat conversation that he was involved in demanding benefits. This chat conversation was after the arrest of all 5 boats. The other names in the chat are all real, including Captain 'S', Deputy Somporn, and Noom Phetchaburi. The most important person who needs to be tracked down for questioning is Noom Phetchaburi, who is known to be related to Sia Joe and is the president of the Phetchaburi Provincial Administrative Organization Council. They have tried to contact him by phone, but have not been able to reach him. Initially, they have sent a letter to invite him for questioning, but have not received a response. They will s end a working group to the area to question him later. They also asked him to 'come and provide information' because Noom is the key person who can clarify everything. It will be beneficial if anyone is found guilty. They are willing to clean their own house. While from the investigation path, it was found that there is a connection between the illegal oil case and the illegal oil tanker case, especially the group of 4-5 suspects that the police have evidence to send to the police, the Technology Crime Suppression Division, and the prosecutor to request an arrest warrant this week, one of them is "Sia Joe" and from the latest clues, it was found that he was in Cambodia. -419-Thai News Agency Source: Thai News Agency
