US court grants extradition for former Thai monk
Thai prosecutors will fly to the US to bring back the disgraced former monk Nen Kham after the California court approved his extradition, provided he doesn't appeal.
Wirapol Sukphol, 38, better known as Nen Kham after his monk name Luang Pu Nen Kham Chattiko, fled Thailand in 2013. He was disrobed after inappropriate behaviours including having sex, boasting about supernatural power and leading an extravagant life with his private jet and brand-name luggage.
Amnat Chotichai, director general of foreign affairs office the Attorney’s General Office, said on Saturday after the court’s approval, a team of prosecutors and special investigation officials, would escort him back to Thailand, provided Mr Wirapol did not appeal.
The former jet-setting monk and well-known preacher from Kanchanaburi is on arrest warrants for public fraud, having sex with underage women and money laundering.
The Department of Special Investigation earlier seized 380 million baht worth of his assets
Thai prosecutors asked the US for cooperation to extradite him in 2016.
According to a September 2015 report from the US, he opened the five-rai Wat Pa Kanti Baramee in Lake Elsinore, San Diego. He reportedly said he was founding a new Buddhist cult that had nothing to do with Thailand’s Sangha and would register it as a foundation.

Disgraced former monk Nen Kham, wanted on arrest warrants for public fraud and sex with underage girls, will be escorted back from the US to Thailand, arriving on Wednesday night, to face charges.
A team of prosecutors and DSI officials were dispatched to the US to bring Mr Wirapol back to Thailand. They were expected to arrive around 11pm on Wednesday, said Pol Col Paisit.
Upon arrival at Suvarnabhumi airport, Mr Wirapol would be taken to the DSI for further questioning. He would be taken to court on Friday. Although the suspect had the right to seek bail, the DSI would oppose it as he had a tendency to flee.

Defrocked monk Wiraphon back in Thailand to face charges
Fugitive defrocked monk Luang Pu Nenkham, or Wiraphon Sukphon, was immediately taken in a security motorcade to the Department of Special Investigation head office on Wednesday after he arrived at Suvaranabhumi Airport on a late-night flight from the United States.
DSI chief Pol Col Phaisit Wongmuang and Pol Lt Gen Phaisith Sangkhahapong, commissioner of the Police Foreign Affairs Bureau, took Wiraphon from the airport at 11.30pm to the DSI head office.
When he arrived at the airport at 10pm, Wiraphon was still wearing the orange saffron of Buddhist monks although the Sangha Council has defrocked him in absentia. He later changed to layman's clothes at the DSI.
Security was stepped up at the DSI head office as Wiraphon was detained there pending further legal action. He is currently facing a total of six charges.
Wiraphon was taken from the airport in a motorcade of a Toyota Camry car and two Toyota Fortuner SUVs. When he exited a Toyota Fortuner, he was flanked by some 10 DSI officials and taken into the DSI building amid a cluster of about 100 reporters and photographers.
The ex-monk is charged with loading false information onto computer networks; cheating the public; money laundering; raping a child no older than 15; molesting a child no older than 15; taking a child no older than 15 away from parents without decent reason.

Ex-monk Nen Kham sentenced to 114 years in jail
The Criminal Court on Thursday sentenced former monk Nen Kham to 114 years in jail for deceiving 29 people into donating to bogus Buddhism and
disaster relief projects and using the money to buy a jet and luxury cars.
Wirapol Sukphol, 39, was a monk at Wat Pa Khantitham in Kanthrarom district, Si Sa Ket province. Also known as Nen Kham, he had been extradited
from the United States last year and jailed since.
In July last year, public prosecutors told the court that from Feb 17, 2009, to June 27, 2013, Nen Kham had told people that in his dream deity Indra had
asked him to build the world's largest Buddha image made from emerald to be housed by a grand temple, as well as a gold image of himself and more
temples in Ubon Ratchathani and Suphan Buri provinces.
He then invited people to make donations including cash, gold and other assets for his projects, as well as his plan to buy boats from the US to help flood
victims.
Besides, he had input false information on construction for the projects via www.luangpunenkha... Later 29 people filed their complaint that they
were lured into believing that Nen Kham was a good monk and they donated cash and other assets worth altogether 28.65 million baht.
Nen Kham denied all charges.
The court found that Nen Kham did not implement the projects. He instead used the donated money to finance his lavish lifestyle, including buying a
private jet and many expensive vehicles including Porsche and BMW cars, all of which were registered under his name.
Earlier, the Civil Court confiscated 43.49 million baht from Nen Kham as he was unable to explain the sources of his wealth.
On Thursday, the Criminal Court sentenced him to 87 years in jail for public fraud, three years for computer crime and 24 years for money-laundering.
However, the court capped his serving jail term at the maximum 20 years as required under Section 91 of the Penal Code for multiple offences.
The court also ordered him to repay the 29 complainants.
Nen Kham was also tried on the charge of raping a minor. The alleged offence forced him to leave monkhood and the Criminal Court had yet to lay its
ruling on the case.

endnu er dom til munken
Thailand’s infamous “jet-set monk” was convicted of raping an underage girl Wednesday, a court official said, in a case that has rocked an already scandal-mired Buddhist clergy.
In Wednesday’s ruling, which found him guilty of rape and separating the girl from her parents, the court said he had given the Buddhist faith a “bad reputation”.
“He used his monkhood, which Thai people respect,” the court official told AFP.
Wiraphon’s 16-year custodial sentence punishment will be added to the 20-year prison term he received in August after being found guilty of multiple counts of fraud.
