Whistleblower Chuvit Kamolvisit has denied knowing a high-ranking anti-money laundering official personally, after the latter was allegedly linked to a 6-million-baht bribe.
Mr Chuvit spoke to reporters on Friday and confirmed that he had already handed over the problematic 6-million-baht cash donation to police investigators at the Crime Suppression Division (CSD).
He denied knowing Anti-Money Laundering Office (Amlo) deputy secretary-general Pol Maj Gen Ekkarak Limsangkat, who was recently accused of having links with the 6-million-baht bribe. Subsequently, Pol Maj Gen Ekkarak filed a defamation suit against activist and Help Crime Victim Club chairman Achariya Ruangrattanapon, who made the accusation.
After emerging from a CSD interrogation room at around 6.30pm on Friday, Mr Chuvit said, "I can confirm 100% that I have never met Pol Maj Gen Ekkarak Limsangkat. Come and check my mobile phone records and see that I have never contacted him."
The former massage parlour tycoon also threatened to sue Mr Atchariya, who claimed that Pol Lt Gen Ekkarat had visited the Davis Hotel to give him the money on the night of Jan 21 this year. Mr Chuvit owns the hotel on Sukhumvit Soi 24, Bangkok.

"Mr Atchariya’s claim that Pol Lt Gen Ekkarat went to the Davis Hotel at 11.30pm on Jan 21 was totally false. It's impossible because I was not there,’’ said Mr Chuvit.
He labelled those who tried to wrongly accuse him as "unsettling spirits starving to be in the media spotlight".
