Justice system testedListen to this articlePol Gen Surachate "Big Joke" HakparnThe latest accusation involving Pol Gen Surachate "Big Joke" Hakparn is causing considerable harm to the image of justice and the law enforcement system in Thailand. Pol Gen Surachate heard the police charges on Saturday and has denied all accusations. Meanwhile, the accused NACC commissioner on Monday sent a lawyer to file charges against those who provided information to the police regarding the gold bar allegations. The NACC is probing the case but has remained silent since the gold bar scandal broke on Friday, which is damaging to its image. Without transparency, accusations will gain more ground, and those who suffer most will not be the NACC-accused persons, but the country's justice system.
