THAI REPORT ON BANGKOK FILM FESTIVAL GRAFT CHARGES COMING
A special investigator in Thailand said Monday that he expects to submit to authorities the results of his probe into allegations that the country's former director of tourism took $1.7 million in bribes from a Los Angeles couple seeking to operate the Bangkok Film Festival. Col. Piyawat Kingket of the Dept. of Special Investigations, said that his findings will enable the National Counter Corruption Commission to decide whether to file anti-graft charges against former Tourism Authority of Thailand Governor Juthamas Siriwan. His announcement comes days after the trial of Gerald and Patricia Green on charges of bribing foreign officials was postponed until September.
