BANGKOK, Feb 2 (TNA) – Six policemen, who allegedly extorted Taiwanese and Singaporean tourists at a checkpoint in Bangkok on July 4 have been detained.
Pol Maj Gen Atthaporn Wongsiripreeda and investigators brought six policemen to seek the approval for the 12-day detention from the Central Criminal Court for Corruption and Misconduct Cases.
They oppose bail for the suspects, citing concern that they might tamper with evidence and a flight risk due to the severity of punishment.
