Commander of Metropolitan Police Bureau’s first division Pol Maj-Gen Vicharnwat Borirakkul was moved to an inactive post at the operations centre of the MPB effective as of Thursday.
The abrupt transfer of Pol Maj-Gen Vicharnwat by an order issued by Acting MPB commissioner Pol Lt-Gen Sanit Mahathavorn stemmed from a raid of the Nataree massage palour in Huay Khwang area on Tuesday night by a special unit of the Interior Ministry.
Seventy-seven migrant workers from neighbouring countries were found working in the massage parlour and several of them did not have work permits while others were found to have worked differently from those specified in their permits.
Also, some of the workers in the parlour are underaged and were believed to be lured into prostitution.
Pol Maj-Gen Vichartwat’s job was temporarily taken over by Pol Maj-Gen Sompong Chingduang, the MPB deputy commissioner.
The transfer order is effective for 30 days or until there is a change of the order.
