The case involves Wat Phra Dhammakaya in Pathum Thani province, which received more than 800 cheques claimed to be donations by the then-chairman of the KCUC, Supachai Srisupa-aksorn. In one of the cases, Supachai and Phra Dhammajayo, the abbot of Wat Phra Dhammakaya, are among five people charged with laundering money and receiving stolen property. Pol Lt Col Pakorn Sucheevakul, chief of the financial and banking case office, said the DSI had already complied with the OAG's orders to question additional witnesses about five times. We should now wait for the OAG the decide on the case on Nov 30," he said. Pol Lt Gen Pakorn said the petition was obviously intended to drag out the case and delay the judicial process.
