A former director-general-level prosecutor has been formally accused of offering a bribe and falsely invoking the names of senior police officers to interfere with a high-profile corruption case in Chiang Mai.
Apiwat Khanthong, acting on behalf of Nethipat Setthitanan, director-general of the Region 5 Anti-Corruption Litigation Office, submitted evidence to Anti-Corruption Division (ACD) investigators on Monday, seeking legal action against the former prosecutor.
The complaint stems from a corruption case dating back to Oct 16, 2024, when ACD officers, working jointly with the National Anti-Corruption Commission and the Public Sector Anti-Corruption Commission, arrested the director of a municipal engineering department and two associates in an operation dubbed Gang-Up at the Table.
