Thammanat Prompow is cleared to proceed serving as an MP and cupboard minister
Deputy Agriculture Minister, and Palang Pracharat ‘fixer’, Thammanat Prompow, has been cleared by a Thai courtroom to continue to hold office in Thailand despite his previous heroin trafficking costs in Australia in 1993.
The Court maintained that, because the case was tried overseas aside from Thailand, his conviction has no bearing on his standing as a member of parliament in Thailand. That identical commonplace doesn’t maintain for foreigners who enter Thailand with overseas court convictions, which are used to disclaim them entry.
55 yr previous Thammanat Prompow (also spelt as Prompao) has now been cleared to continue serving the Cabinet of the Palang Pracharat coalition authorities.
Fending off lopburionly.com within the Thai parliament final yr Mr. Thammanat claimed, amongst other things…
“The factor the police and authorities in the state of NSW stated was three.2 kilograms of heroin, it was flour.”
His claims differ from the lab tests conducted on behalf of the convicting Court by the Australian Government Analytical Laboratories who had been asked to analyse 3 kilograms of white powder that had been seized as evidence in the instances. The analyst was Phillip McKay who tested for “colour and solubility, chromatography and spectrometry”.
The exams confirmed that the powder was “impure heroin hydrochloride and at 74% purity amounted to a touch over 2.three kilograms of heroin”.
The Australian Sydney Morning Herald and The Age, both Fairfax Media papers, reported in 2019 that Mr. Thammanat had pleaded responsible and accepted a 6 12 months jail time period for “conspiring to import heroin” from Bangkok to Sydney. After serving four years he was deported again to Thailand. At the time he had the title ‘Manat Bophlom’.
In 2019, Mr. Thammanat, then serving as an MP beneath the Prayut Chan-o-cha government, strenuously fended off a censure movement towards him and denying the serious allegations in opposition to him.
Mr. Thammanat, despite his tenuous grip on the information regarding his 1993 drug trial in Australia, has also been capable of shake off his political past as an MP within the opposition Pheu Thai party.
In the 2014 basic election he ran for a seat in the decrease house as a Pheu Thai Party candidate, the celebration led by Yingluck Shinawatra. That election was declared “invalid’ when the NCPO, under the management of General Prayut Chan-o-cha, seized power in May, 2014. Thammanat was ordered to report back to the military-led National Council for Peace and Order at the time. 4 years later he joined the Palang Pracharath Party.
Opposition MP Teeratchai Panthumas, from the Move Forward Party, famous the Thai structure states that an individual is unable to serve as an MP or a cupboard minister “if beforehand sentenced to jail for a drug-related offence”.
Pichai Naripthaphan, Pheu Thai’s deputy chief, is quoted in Thai Enquirer…
“…having an individual associated with medication to hold on to a cabinet place is disgraceful. It reveals the low level of ordinary within the present government and the country because this would not happen overseas.”
Two weeks ago it was rumoured that Thammanat Prompow would be given responsibility to supervise the government’s coordination of Covid services and applications in Thailand’s southern provinces.
The Democrat Party balked on the prospect, threatening to stroll away from the federal government coalition. The government backed off from that idea and the Democrats re-affirmed their support to stay in the coalition..
