Big Joke Dismisses Involvement In Money-Laundering, Online Gambling Charges
DEPUTY POLICE CHIEF Pol.Gen. Surachate Hakparn, nicknamed Big Joke, yesterday (Feb.16) dismissed allegations that he had been involved in money-laundering and running a gambling website.
The well-known deputy police chief admitted that as many as eight police officers under his command had been accused of alleged involvement in the money-laundering with huge profits from the gambling website, named Minnie, but categorically denied he himself had been so involved as well.
However, some of those unnamed police officers suspected of involvement in the illegal online gambling had allegedly mentioned him as their mastermind.
But Pol.Gen. Surachate said he has been groundlessly accused in a conspiracy hatched up among high-ranking police officers to keep him out of a race for promotion as police chief.
