The raid on the unlicensed Jingling pub in Yannawa district on the night of Oct 26 that found more than 200 clients, mostly of Chinese origin, has now snowballed into allegations of attempts by a soldier, police and officials from the Department of Special Investigation(DSI) demanding bribes from a further 11 Chinese who escaped the raid.
An armed forces fact-finding panel is looking into a soldier's alleged involvement in the police extortion of millions of baht in exchange for the release of 11 Chinese suspects found hiding in a former consul-general's house in Bangkok.
