The spokesperson for the Office of the Attorney General clarified the issue of a voice clip in which a person claims to be the Prosecutor General and boasts about having the power to overturn cases. The individual is a former prosecutor who has already been dismissed from service in a bribery case involving a Chinese person.
On 29 Oct 2016 GMT+7, Mr. Prayut Petchkhun, Prosecutor General of Region 4 and spokesperson for the Office of the Attorney General, explained regarding the voice clip affecting the prosecutor organization's image. The clip widely circulated online features a voice claiming to be a prosecutor who can assist in cases.
