BREAKING:
National Police Chief Pol Gen Damrongsak Kittiprapas has ordered a
thorough and swift investigation on the alleged extortion of 27,000 baht
from Taiwanese actress Charlene An at a Bangkok police checkpoint in
early Jan, said Police spokesman Pol Maj Gen Atchayon Kraithong on
Saturday. No one will be spared from criminal and legal responsibility
if found guilty, the spokesman added.
The move came after An hits back at earlier remark by Thai police and a grab driver.
Taiwanese
actress Charlene An rebutted late on Friday saying she didn't drink
when Thai police stopped her and friends at a Bangkok checkpoint to
extort money and demand police release CCTV footage.
"Wow, that's not true at all! I didn't drink at all," An wrote on her Instagram account.
An
said Thai police tried to shift the topic and they should stop taking
nonsense. She added that she's contacted Interpol about the matter
"They
are saying bad things about me to make them look good and cover up the
truth," An wrote in English on her Instagram account.
The
reaction came after Thai Police said late Friday the grab driver of
Taiwanese actress Charlene An was summoned and told them he saw no
extortion made by police and added that An was "very drunk" on that
night. The driver was identified as Vichaet, 40. No family name was
given.
Earlier
on the same day, Deputy Police Chief Pol Gen Surachate Hakparn, aka
"Big Joke", said iff police officers were found having extorted money
from a Taiwanese actress as claimed by the latter they would face
criminal charges.
An
said she had to pay 27,000 baht of extortion money after Thai police
stopped and search her at a checkpoint at 1am and held her and her
friends for two hours after she was told her visa on arrival was not
valid.
An,
32, posted on social media the incident occurred on Jan 4 while she and
her friends were inside a taxi on the way back to hotel but were
stopped by police at a checkpoint. "The experience was like being in a
Mexican film," An said adding that she pleaded but to no avail. The
actress said police also forced her to delete the video clip she took.
She wrote that she would never return to Thailand ever again. "Goodbye
Lousy Bangkok!".
