Thread: DSI concludes investigation on false overtime claims at PAT

The Department of Investigation (DSI) has found 11 administrators of the Port Authority of Thailand (PAT) to have colluded in false overtime claims for staff, causing 300 – 400 million baht a year in damages, DSI deputy director-general Suriya Singhakamol said on Monday (Aug 21).

Pol Maj Suriya said the 11 PAT administrators are nine division directors, one department director and one assistant director.

The DSI accepted this as a special case for investigation in 2014 after PAT representatives filed a petition for it to look into alleged corruption in the state enterprise.

After investigating the alleged false overtime claims back for four years from 2012, the DSI found the allegation to have grounds. False overtime claims had been made in nearly all departments, causing 300-400 million baht a year in damages.

In all, the total damages made were not less than 3 billion baht. A number of high-level PAT staff were found to have colluded in the illegal practice.

Pol Maj Suriya said after a long investigation, the DSI has submitted an investigation report with over 400,000 pages to the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) for consideration.
