NACN affirms graft allegations

Mongkolkit Suksintharanon, secretary-general of the National Anti-Corruption Network (NACN), on Thursday submitted to a Senate committee a list of politicians and other people alleged to have been involved in the siphoning of 16 billion baht of government flood projects money that was transferred to Hong Kong and France.

He handed over the list to the Senate committee on corruption and promotion of good governance.

The NACN secretary-general said the list was to enable the senate committee to set up a subcommittee to investigate the corrupt embezzlement of the money.

He also handed over documents relating to alleged corruption in the government's flood relief programme, rice pledging scheme, the Vocational Education Commission's procurement of hardware, and tax evasion by influential car dealers.

Mr Mongkolkit said he received the information on the siphoning of the flood money from the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) in Hong Kong, businessmen, sea port operators and a hotel association.

The information revealed that the money was moved out through tour companies and gold shops in the Yaowarat area.
