(Bangkok Post file photo)The Office of the Attorney General has, for the fourth time, postponed its decision whether to indict Phra Dhammajayo on charges connected to the 12-billion baht Klongchan Credit Union Cooperative embezzlement case. The monk received donations in the form of cheques totalling hundreds of millions of baht drawn on the Klongchan Credit Union by Supachai Srisupa-akson, former chairman of Klongchan Credit Union Cooperative, who was convicted and imprisoned for stealing 12-billion baht from the cooperative. The OAG initially set Oct 6 to announce its decision regarding Phra Dhammajayo, who has consistently managed to avoid reporting to acknowledge the charges against him citing health issues. A warrant has been issued for Phra Dhammajayo, the second suspect, but the DSI has not been able to arrest him, although it is believed he is still inside Wat Phra Dhammakaya. Ms Saranya and Ms Thongphin, the third and fourth suspects, have been handed over by the DSI to the OAG and were released on bail.
