Deputy chief of Thailand’s national police surrenders for arrest on money laundering charge

Associated Press  

BANGKOK — A deputy chief of Thailand’s national police force involved in many high-profile cases turned himself in to fellow officers on Tuesday after a court issued a warrant for his arrest on money laundering charges. Thai media reported that the Bangkok Criminal Court approved an arrest warrant for Surachate on money laundering charges earlier Tuesday. Surachate’s residence in Bangkok was raided in September last year in an operation police said was related to an illegal online gambling network. Police appeared to ramp up their investigation of abuse of power, bribery and money laundering allegations against Surachate last month, and openly accused him of being connected with online gambling operators.
