NACC prepares to meet justice permanent secretary to discuss VVIP prison case

 

The Office of the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) is preparing to meet with the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Justice to inquire about the progress of the investigation into the involvement of Department of Corrections officials in the so-called “VVIP prison” case at Bangkok Remand Prison.

 

Today (December 16, 2025), Mr. Surapong Intarathaworn, Deputy Secretary-General of the NACC, acting as the Secretary-General, assigned Mr. Pattanapong Chanpetchpool, Assistant Secretary-General, Mr. Charong Krohmat, Director of the Bureau of Investigation and Special Operations, Mr. Pairoj Niyomdecha, Director of Investigation and Intelligence Division 2 and other NACC officers from the division, to discuss with Mrs. Pongsawat Neelayothin, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Justice, and her team the following matters:

  1. The follow-up on the progress of the case concerning allegations that government officials working at Bangkok Remand Prison, Department of Corrections, provided preferential treatment to certain groups of Chinese inmates, following an earlier fact-finding investigation conducted by officials at the prison on November 28. The NACC aims to ensure compliance with Organic Act on Prevention and Suppression of Corruption B.E. 2561 (2018).
  2. Ways to coordinate cooperation between the NACC and the Ministry of Justice to find measures to prevent future violations of the laws, rules, or regulations, and ways to enhance the effectiveness of criminal prosecution by utilising whistleblower protection mechanisms to prevent corruption case whistleblowers, as well as ways to apply the Anti-SLAPP Law under the organic act amendment of 2025 to build confidence among whistleblowers within the NACC's jurisdiction and power to provide protection from civil, criminal and disciplinary actions.
  3. Ways to enforce the law more effectively to reduce public distress and create a law-abiding society.

 

Those who have witnessed corruption involving political office holders or government officials are encouraged to report to the NACC by calling 1205, visiting the NACC website at www.nacc.go.th, or contacting a relevant NACC Regional Office or NACC Provincial Office nationwide.
