According to the ACU, employees accused the department chief of pocketing state revenue from various sources, including their designated share of traffic fines collected from motorists.

In what has become a common practice for the Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU), it recently posted allegations of embezzlement, favoritism and abuse of power against Lieutenant General Run Rathveasna, the public order department’s director, to its website without identifying his accusers.

It summarized the director’s point-by-point denials in the same post but did not say whether an investigation had or would be opened...
