Nepotism ?

"Sakoltee was indicted on a charge of insurrection by the court this March. The trial is ongoing."

 

I wonder what the outcome of that trial will be?

he is one of Suthep's men. Quite a few of Suthep's men have found top positions over the last 3 years. This one is in place along with another Suthep man(Bangkok governor)  to water down any protests,against this mob after any elections,when people realise the mob is still in power no matter how the population votes
