The Centre for Protection and Security of Buddhism has received more than 200 complaints since its inception, says Pol Maj Gen Jaroonkiat Pankaew, Deputy Commissioner of the Central Investigation Bureau (CIB), with many of them involving serious allegations, including the trading of positions within the nation's Buddhist monastic hierarchy.

He said that 30 cases are currently being investigated by the CIB, while more than 100 have been referred to Provincial Police Regions and the Metropolitan Police Bureau around the country for further action.

Pol Maj Gen Jaroonkiat said that most of the complaints relate to financial misconduct by monks and inappropriate relationships between monks and women.
