Sereepisuth reveals to the core his meets with Thaksin on 14th hospital floor

13 Sept 19:45 Key points summarised by AI

Former national police commissioner Sereepisuth Temeeyaves disclosed that ex-PM Thaksin Shinawatra, during his hospital stay, appeared healthy and casually dressed without medical equipment, contradicting claims of severe ailments.
Sereepisuth reported a complete absence of medical staff or Corrections Department officials on the 14th floor of the Police General Hospital, where he met Thaksin, raising questions about the legitimacy of his confinement.
Thaksin invited Sereepisuth to the hospital primarily to request he withdraw a national anti-graft commission (NACC) complaint against then-Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin.
These revelations challenge the official narrative of Thaksin's severe illness and hospital confinement, suggesting a privileged arrangement for a convicted prisoner.
