Suspect to report today

Retired policeman Colonel Charnchai Netirattakan, a suspect in an alleged attempt to bribe Constitution Tribunal judges, must turn himself in today as promised or else he will be arrested wherever he is, assistant national police chief Lt-General Jongrak Jutanont said yesterday.

"If he surrenders, the bail bond will be set at Bt200,000. But whether bail is granted is up to the investigators' judgement and confidence that the suspect will not escape, destroy evidence or threaten witnesses," he said.

Charnchai, accused of offering judges Bt30 million to acquit the Thai Rak Thai party of electoral fraud charges, had agreed to surrender tomorrow, but his daughter later told police he would report to them today.

A key member of Thai Rak Thai group Kuthep Saikrachang said they were not worried about the investigation into the alleged bribery attempt as the now dissolved party was not involved.

The alleged bribe offer and the attempt to link it to the party were intended to eradicate Thai Rak Thai from society, he said.
