Meanwhile, Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwon said Tuesday the Thai team in Germany has not yet seen the former monk. The fugitive told German authorities he did not want to meet them, he said. German authorities need about two months to investigate the facts surrounding the case but Thailand requested Germany process the former monk's return within three days, Gen Prawit said. Pol Gen Chakthip's team had booked tickets on Thai Airways flight TG921 which was scheduled to leave Frankfurt this afternoon and arrive in Thailand tomorrow morning. Despite the source saying no word had been received from Pol Gen Chakthip, Gen Prawit dismissed media reports that the former assistant abbot of Wat Samphanthawong had sought asylum in Germany.
