    PACC search house of C8 official implicated in embezzlement of fund for poor students

    Officials from the Public Sector Anti-Corruption Commission (PACC) on Friday (March 23) searched the house of a senior official of the Education Ministry who allegedly admitted that she had embezzled more than 100 million baht from the Sema Pattana Cheewit fund meant for poor students during the past ten years from 2007-2017.


    The officials spent about three hours in the house of Mrs Rojana Sinthee, a C-8 official of Bureau of Educational Activity Promotion, on Songprapha road in Bangkok’s Don Mueang area, looking for documents related to the fund disbursement.


    A big pile of documents kept in the house and car, including a computer hard disk found in the house were seized and taken back to the PACC office for further scrutiny.


    The panel investigating the alleged fund embezzlement has reportedly discovered that, besides Mrs Rojana, several other officials were involved in the alleged plundering of the Sema Pattana Cheewit fund intended for poor students.


    The amount of fund embezzled was originally estimated at 88 million baht has now soared to about 118 million baht for the past ten years.


    An informed source said that the PACC’s probe team would summon all people concerned, including officials of the Education Ministry, schools and students who had applied for financial support of scholarships from the Fund for questioning to find out the extent of the embezzlement and how many people were affected.

    Mrs Rojana Sinthee to face money laundering charge



    Money laundering charge will be brought against Mrs Rojana Sinthee, a C8-level education official, accused of allegedly embezzling over 88 million baht from Sema Pattana Chewit Fund for poor students.


    Anti-Money Laundering Office secretary Mr Wittaya Nititham disclosed on Monday that AMLO officials had discovered that money in 22 bank accounts used to store money suspected to be embezzled from the Fund had all been withdrawn in February alone.


    He said AMLO officials would try to track the money whether they were used to invest in property or spent on something to avoid detection, adding he didn’t believe these were done by a single person.


    The main focus of AMLO investigation is to trace the money trail from its original source to the end source and to take legal action against those implicated in the alleged money laundering, said Mr Wittaya as he warned that the offence carries a maximum imprisonment of ten years.


    He said investigation by AMLO officials was making progress and he expected a full report within a month.


    Meanwhile, Pol Lt-Col Siripong Sritula, director of Public Sector Anti-Corruption Division, said that he men were trying to sort out documents to check Mrs Rojana’s connections with the other individuals.


    The more important point, he said, is to find out whether there are any officials who are more superior than Mrs Rojana who were involved in the alleged embezzlement of students’ fund.

    Her houses are just around the corner from me. I went to have a look. Two run down townhouses in an old muban. Nothing to write home about.

    Unless they were incompetent to the point of needing carers to wipe away the drool, I believe the appropriate phrase to be "No shit, Sherlock".
