Jongrak seeks Vatana return on Klong Dan case

(BangkokPost.com) - Deputy national police chief Jongrak Juthanont said he will talk with counterparts in Cambodia on Wednesday on how to bring back veteran politician Vatana Asavahame for trial involving Klong Dan wastewater treatment plant.

The talk will be held at Indo-China hotel in Sa Kaeo province, Thailand.

Mr Vatana was last seen in Cambodia, where he runs two casinos in the Cambodian border town of Poi Pet, opposite Aranyaprathet district in Sa Kaeo.

The court on July 9 seized Mr Vatana's 2.2-million-baht bail and issued a warrant for his arrest after he failed to turn up to hear the verdict. The reading of the verdict was rescheduled for Aug 18.

Pol Gen Jongrak said Mr Vatana would be brought to Thailand before Aug 18.
