Bangkok police chief Pol Lt Gen Sanit Mahathavorn wants another 30 days to explain his 50,000 baht monthly payment from alcohol giant Thai Beverage Plc. (Bangkok Post file photo)Metropolitan Police chief Sanit Mahathavorn has asked the Ombudsman for another month to explain his paid advisory role with giant alcoholic drinks producer Thai Beverage Plc. On Jan 24, the Bangkok police chief and Thai Beverage were ordered by the Ombudsman's office to clarify the job and monthly payment within seven days, or by Feb 2. Mr Raksagecha said Thai Beverage had submitted a written explanation, but details could not be disclosed until the city police chief submitted his clarification. The Royal Thai Police last month explained that Pol Lt Gen Sanit had not breached police regulations, because the RTP did not prohibit a police officer from holding an advisory role in a company.
