A private jet reportedly used to help a Chinese mafia figure escape arrest and flee the country is being serviced at Bo Fai airfield in Prachuap Khiri Khan and never left Thailand, according to the air force.
The clarification came after former massage parlour tycoon Chuwit Kamolvisit provided information about the alleged escape to deputy national police chief Pol Gen Torsak Sukvimol on Thursday.
Mr Chuwit claimed the alleged gangster, who he named as Mr Tuhao, had already fled the country, with the assistance of certain state officials, on the jet hours after police raided a pub in Bangkok's Yannawa district late last month.
