The first 1,000 items seized from the criminal network headed by disgraced former Central Investigation Bureau chief Pongpat Chayapan have been opened to public viewing ahead of being auctioned off, the Anti-Money Laundering Office (Amlo) announced.
The seized items include Buddha images, paintings, sculptures, furniture, Chinaware, glass, high-end watches and wine.
They can be inspected today and Tuesday, between 8.30am and 4.30pm at the 2nd Battalion, 1st Infantry Regiment King’s Own Bodyguard, Chaeng Watthana.
Amlo has arranged with Union Auction Co for the sale of the seized goods over four days, Thursday to Sunday, by auctioning 250 items each day.
People interested in bidding can also view details and starting prices at the office's website.
There are still many other seized items, the proceeds of crime, which have not yet been put up for auction.
Pol Lt Gen Pongpat Chayapan was sentenced to a further 15 years in prison last week for demanding money for police promotions and accepting bribes from oil smugglers, bringing his total prison term from several convictions to 31 years and nine months, to be served cumulatively.
