As DSI had sent a letter to both institutes to ask for progress on the action against the controversial abbot, Paisit said the agency was informed that NOB would notify DSI of its action result within this month. Affirming that the DSI letter wasn’t to point out the monk’s wrongdoings, he said the agency just urged NOB to proceed, or else NOB could be guilty of a state office refraining from performing its duties.

Among several accusations Phra Dhammachayo faced was the allegation that he received money from a key suspect in the Credit Union Khlong Chan embezzlement case.
