Police may cut Thaksin's rank
The Royal Thai Police is considering revoking former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra's police rank of lieutenant colonel because he received a jail term in a final court verdict.
Police Maj General Panya Engchuan, commander of the force's Disciplinary Division, said Thursday his office had suggested to the personnel division on Monday (Jan 5) that Thaksin be deprived of his police rank.
He said the suggestion was in line with the regulations for police personnel.
Panya said that, according to the regular procedures, the personnel division was likely to refer the case to police commissioner-general Patcharawat Wongsuwan for further action.
