Government House, "Pichit" is confident that "Thaksin" will receive a suspended sentence and will not be seized, pointing out that the Section 112 case occurred abroad. There is no investigation. Mr. Phichit Chuenban, Advisor to the Prime Minister Referring to the case of Mr. Thaksin Shinawatra, former Prime Minister, receiving a special suspension of punishment that This matter must be questioned by Pol. Col. Thawee Sodsong, Minister of Justice. Because he is directly responsible including the Department of Corrections Because they will know the procedures and regulations very well. 'I still don't know if Mr. Thaksin has been named to receive a suspended sentence. If there is a real name, the procedures follow the guidelines of the Department of Corrections. I don't want to say anything. Afraid of being inaccurate Because it is a delicate matter Confirming that he has not yet talked and met with Mr. Thaksin. The suspension of sentence depends on the calculation of the period specified by the Department of Corrections. It is not my duty,' Mr. Phichit said. When asked about the news that Mr. Thaksin would be imprisoned in the Section 112 case, Mr. Pichit said that he thought there was no news and that the news was quite inaccurate. The part stated to be a case in 2016 was a case in which Mr. Thaksin spoke in South Korea. It is an offense outside the Kingdom. And as far as checking While Mr. Thaksin was charged and an arrest warrant issued There was no opportunity to make an excuse or explain. I think it's unfair to Mr. Thaksin. Because the law requires the investigator to investigate in a way that is beneficial and harmful. 'But in that case, you are abroad. There was no opportunity to explain in your favor that you had not committed a crime. And I think this process is quite complete. But these are details that the investigators and prosecutors probably don't want to be in the news. Because it will create a trend and cause social dislocation. He thought that this issue was a matter of normal judicial process. And you have entered the justice process,' Mr. Phichit said. As for the issue of whether Mr. Thaksin did anything wrong as charged, Mr. Pichit said that he thought he was not wrong. He was sure that there were many issues in which Mr. Thaksin had not been treated fairly. Because of events occurring abroad And the clips that were published were only some parts. Not all I don't want to accuse it of being edited. Because there are still some missing parts in many stories. I know it hasn't come yet. Including the investigation of journalists who interviewed Mr. Thaksin. This matter requires the use of the International Criminal Cooperation Act for investigation. It is not known whether investigators or prosecutors have taken this step. Because it is international law It's not like there's news and then we come to the conclusion that we did something wrong. 'The matter of arrest warrants and various procedures has been taken care of. There probably wouldn't be anything to arrest you. The investigators and prosec utors have done their job. I wouldn't neglect it. It's just that we don't want it to be news because there is another part of society that wants to cause something. and cause the country to be unsettled Confirm that the process In the case of Mr. Thaksin, it went well. Nothing special It is a fight according to the normal justice process. that he had never explained the accusations May you be at ease,' Mr. Phichit said. As for if Mr. Thaksin gets a suspended sentence Will it cover other cases as well? Mr. Phichit said that the suspension of punishment is in accordance with the red notice. that brought you into Thailand, how many cases who received a red card and received a penalty This is the deciding factor. As for many sides arguing whether Mr. Thaksin has been punished or not. He would like to confirm the legal issue that When Mr. Thaksin returned to Thailand and was taken to court The court will issue a red card with a penalty notice. As for the process of enforcing punishment, we must separate Because n ow there are many parties accusing Mr. Thaksin of destroying the justice process. which the justice process has ended The court has the final verdict. Mr. Phichit said that at this time he called the penalty enforcement and penalty management process of the Department of Corrections confirming that the justice process had ended since the court issued the red card. I want you to remember two words: enforcement of punishment and administration of punishment. You are in this process. It is not in the justice process. However, everyone can have a different opinion. But I want you to look at the law. This is the stage Mr. Thaksin is in, so the matter of suspension is good. Or where there is news that correctional regulations have been issued to allow detention outside the prison. It can't happen. It's in accordance with the law. No one dares to break the law. But if we don't understand what this step is, we'll keep talking and find an end. That is called having a hidden agenda. 'Enforcement of punishment or admi nistration of punishment It is operated by a group of people. No one person can do it. The Director-General of the Department of Corrections cannot do it. I want you to listen to correct information. for society to understand and analyzed That we will be the cause of division in society or not? Confirm that Thaksin still adheres to the rule of law and the rule of law. and he has entered the process of receiving punishment And when entering the phase of suspension and punishment administration, it must be considered appropriate to one's status. Including the problems that occurred and your health,' Mr. Phichit said. When asked again, are you confident that if you come out, you will not be seized or detained? Mr. Phichit slapped his hand on his chest and stated that he was 100 percent confident that he had done everything correctly and that he had received one-third of the full sentence. When asked if it will come out in a month Is this February for sure? Mr. Phichit Smiling but not answering questions.- Sou rce: Thai News Agency
