 Thai AGO Declines to Process Case Accusing Former PM Thaksin of Subversion

In what is being hailed as a significant shakeup in Thai politics, the Attorney General's Office (AGO) of Thailand has refused to process a politically charged case against former Prime Minister, Thaksin Shinawatra and the governing Pheu Thai Party. The case accuses both parties of trying to subvert democracy in Thailand while the King holds the title of Head of State.

 

Sources state the case was dismissed today, 19th November, by the AGO, citing a lack of sufficient cause for the accusations. However, the decision now lies with the Constitutional Court to further pursue the matter.

 

The case was initially tabled by lawyer Teerayut Suwankesorn earlier this month. It alleges that Thaksin, whose daughter Paetongtarn Shinawatra now leads as Prime Minister, is employing his influence over the ruling Pheu Thai Party to manipulate and destabilise the democratic governance of Thailand. The case, brought to the AGO, claims the actions are a breach of Section 49 of Thailand's constitution.

 

 

Documents detailing the contentious case were forwarded to the Constitutional Court by the AGO on 8th November, with the court scheduling a hearing for the matter on 22nd November.

 

Despite declining to process the case, the AGO has confirmed that it will supply additional information to the Constitutional Court for their review. This will include evidence of actions by Thaksin and Pheu Thai Party that potentially supports the claims of subversion.

 

As per procedure, the AGO has a 15-day window following the forwarding of case documents to provide this supplemental information, ensuring the Constitutional Court can fully investigate these hefty allegations against a former statesman and ruling political party. This promises to be a critical moment in the unfolding tapestry of Thai politics.

Another waste of time  objection. 

 Thaksin is flouting the law publicly every day. 

Why doesn't some clever lawyer come up with a 

legal objection that has some merit instead of the petty lawsuits by  would be lawyers making petty legal  objections for personal publicity.

Given that it is obvious Taksin enjoys the support of somebody of way higher standing than anyone else the decision of the AG is entirely understandable. I expect the Constitutional Court will come to a similar judgment.

You could say it was his "crowning" glory..........except we cant!!

It appears that Thaksin also wields undue influence over the Attorney General's Office

He is the de facto man in charge akin to CEO of Thailand 

And like the CEO of any company he only answers to the chairman of the board. 

He only answers to one man. The rest of the losers can bugger off
