Accelerate the investigation into the ‘Achariya’ case entering prison

The Central Investigation Bureau is expediting the investigation into the facts in the case of "Achariya" entering prison with investigators. Pol. Lt. Col. Suwat Saengnum, Deputy Commissioner of the Central Investigation Bureau, gave an interview about the case in which Mr. Atchariya Ruangrattanapong, President of the Crime Victim Assistance Association, met with Mr. Jiravat Saengphakdee (Coach Lab) at the Bangkok Special Prison on October 25, 2014. He said that from the initial investigation, Mr. Atchariya met with Coach Lab at the prison. He is an investigator, not an investigator. Relatives of the accused contacted him. He did not have any details. He only knew that there was a visitation for relatives. If the prison allowed it, Mr. Atchariya could visit. When asked if it is possible for non-officials to enter the interrogation room in the prison, Pol. Lt. Col. Suwat revealed that if it is not an interrogation, it is possible to just go and talk about the facts as normal. On that day, the police went in but did not interrogate, but talked about general matters. Pol. Lt. Col. Suwat added that there is a team conducting the investigation and must be able to provide an explanation later. If the results of the investigation are out, he did not investigate himself and therefore could not give a clear answer. When asked if the origin of the case came from the claim that there were Consumer Protection Police Division officers who wanted to extort 9 million baht to prevent the arrest warrant for Coach Lab, Coach Lab's wife and Coach Lab's senior friend coordinated with Mr. Atchariya to enter the prison to sign a power of attorney, and whether the police had asked the wife and Coach Lab's senior friend or not, Pol. Lt. Gen. Suwat briefly revealed that the facts of the matter were still unknown, and that Mr. Atchariya was not an assistant officer. Both the Corrections Department and the police are currently investigating, and there must be an answer as to whether everything was in accordance with the rules and regul ations. If it is a case of interrogation of the accused, it must be with the permission of the accused to identify himself, that is, a person who is trusted. It is the accused's right to let anyone join in the interrogation. It is the accused's legal right. 119.-Thai News Agency Source: Thai News Agency
