An army common and two other people have been charged yesterday with colluding to defraud others. The three swindled over 43 million baht from two firms between December 2017 and August 2018. They supplied the companies services that didn’t exist.
One of these fake tasks involved telling a firm they might land it a state contract by putting in LED lights in a challenge run by the Energy Ministry. The three fraudsters ordered the firm to pay them “administrative” charges, and different charges. These fees totaled over 31 million baht. Another project involved telling the proprietor of a personal firm they could set up solar panels for a hundred faculties in Loei. Anonymous -called administrative charges on this venture totaled 12.7 million baht.
The courtroom ruled the fraudsters should return 28 million baht to the first firm, and 12.7 million to the second. The common and one other fraudster have been sentenced to 2 years in jail, with the third fraudster sentenced to 1 12 months.
The general, Sompote Ngerncharoen, is allegedly linked to other fraud circumstances in Khon Kaen. He is sixty six years outdated, and used to serve as a Fourth Region Army commander, and an assistant leader to a staff hooked up to the defense chief-of-staff.
All defendents denied the charges..
