Disgraced abbot surrenders, defrocked

Almost 850 million baht was found to have been transferred to the account of a female broker linked to an online gambling network after police sifted through evidence related to the embezzlement allegations against the former abbot of Wat Rai Khing temple.
The former Phra Thamma Wachiranuwat, 70, whose layman name is Yaem Inkhungkao, turned himself in to police on Thursday to face the embezzlement charge after a warrant was approved earlier in the day by the Criminal Court for Corruption and Misconduct Cases, based on evidence submitted by the Crime Suppression Division.
He was accused of embezzling more than 300 million baht in temple funds to gamble on an online baccarat platform and of using his former associate, Ekkapot Phukhang, to facilitate the money transfer.
A source close to the investigation said that it was believed about 847 million baht had been transferred to the broker's account, and police were examining the accounts of the temple foundation.
