The Police Commander confirmed that he had not found any "salute stickers" after strict inspection of 3 agencies. As for the Highway Police who were transferred to investigate, there have been no reports of offenses. But I believe that some people are involved.
Police Lieutenant General Jiraphop Phuridej, Commander of the Central Investigation Bureau, revealed the case of a complaint to be investigated by the Highway Police. After it was found that payments were made in exchange for carrying excess weight in various provinces. which has many types of sticker symbols Also known as "Tribute Sticker" after the Central Investigation Bureau has already ordered the transfer of the highway police commander and assigned Police Major General Charoonkiat Pankaew, Commander of the Suppression of Corruption and Misconduct, or PAPP, to act on his behalf and investigate the facts.
Police Lieutenant General Jiraphop confirmed that at this time it was not found that tribute stickers had been paid. But previously there were complaints and orders to transfer more than 40 highway patrol officers to investigate. It is believed that some of them have committed crimes. But at this time, we are still waiting for the report of the results of the investigation from Police Major General Charoonkiat to be sent to us. At this time, the Highway Police has changed its work even more. Emphasis is placed on investigative and arrest work with other units, such as seizing cars carrying drugs, illegal cars with license plates. Human trafficking, etc.
As for the fact-checking, there are still 3 parts: a fact-checking unit from the Inspector General of Police. Central Investigation Bureau and the Highway Police Division If any group finds fault, they will definitely take legal action. But receiving such tribute It is believed that there is a middleman who receives the tribute. and sent to several related units which is still under investigation If anyone finds that tribute is still being paid, they can report it.
As for the consideration of the person who will serve as the next Highway Patrol Commander. This depends on the commander at the Royal Thai Police level. We must wait for the new National Police Commissioner first. The appointment of commanders will be next in line. Currently, we are still working together with the Acting Highway Patrol Commander, which is still going in a good direction. There has been no change.
