Thailand’s Supreme Court Criminal Division for Political Office Holders found former Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban not guilty today (Tuesday) of corruption in connection with the Royal Thai Police’s project for the construction of 396 police stations across the country.

 

Besides Suthep, the other five defendants charged by the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) with similar offences and acquitted by the Supreme Court are former acting national police chief Pol Gen Pateep Tanprasert, Pol Maj-Gen Satja Kotehirun, Pol Lt-Col Suriya Jangsuwan, PCC Development and Construction Company Limited, the project builder, and one of its executives, Wisanu Wisetsing.

 

According to the NACC’s charge sheet, the case dates back to 2009, when Suthep, then deputy prime minister in the government of Prime Minister According Abhisit Vejjajiva and Pol Gen Pateep, changed the procurement contracts by combining them into a single contract and PCC Development and Construction Company won the contract.
