Popular Post webfact Posted May 9 Popular Post Share Posted May 9 Picture courtesy of Matichon weekly In a recent development in Thailand, the Central Administrative Court has fined the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) and its office for withholding information regarding a probe into former deputy PM Prawit Wongsuwon's collection of luxury watches. Political activist Veera Somkwamkid disclosed the court's decision to penalize both entities with a 5,000 baht fine each for non-disclosure. The court has further instructed the NACC to reveal the investigation findings to Veera within a 15-day timeframe. The case stems from 2017 when public outcry ensued over Prawit's possession of 22 undeclared luxury watches. Despite initial claims that the watches were borrowed, widespread skepticism persisted. Veera's relentless pursuit for transparency led to a complaint filed against NACC in 2017, unveiling a sequence of events exposing bureaucratic obstacles. Following a 2018 NACC decision to dismiss the case, Veera's persistent efforts have now resulted in the recent court ruling compelling the disclosure of investigative results. -- 2024-05-10 Get our Daily Newsletter - Click HERE to subscribe 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfd101 Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Fascinating how criminal investigations and judgments lumber on year after year, decade after decade, without any real conclusion as the political climate moves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dinsdale Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 (edited) Thailand is corrupt top to bottom and this is another example i.e. corrupt person and corrupt court. Every person in Thailand knows this. Another slap fight between the corrupt with a big price to pay for the loser and a big price to pay for the winner. Judges do not come cheap.
