The director of the Excise Department's Prevention and Suppression Bureau was involved in a case of illegally transported oil detected by the Highway Police on June 7, according to the results of an internal probe.
The director, whose name was not given, was caught after he reportedly called people at the Highway Police Department (HPD), asking them to let a driver go and release his tanker that had been stopped for an inspection on Phetkasem Road in Prachuap Khiri Khan after reports surfaced claiming that thousands of litres of oil were being illegally transported.
