Anti-Corruption Commission Clarifies Status of Thaksin Hospitalisation Case

 

Thailand’s National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) has refuted claims that it has advanced a case involving former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra’s prolonged stay at Police General Hospital.  

 

NACC Secretary-General Saroj Puengrampan addressed the issue on 3 December, following allegations circulating online. The case centres on accusations that officials from the Department of Corrections and Police General Hospital improperly transferred Thaksin from Bangkok Remand Prison, citing dubious medical grounds, allowing him to remain hospitalised for 180 days and avoid regular incarceration.  

Contrary to reports, the NACC stated the investigation remains at a preliminary stage under Section 49 of the 2018 Anti-Corruption Act. No conclusive findings have been made, nor has the case been submitted to the commission’s main panel for deliberation.  

 

The allegations also include claims of undue influence, with a high-ranking individual allegedly pressuring investigators to dismiss the case as baseless. However, the NACC emphasised that its inquiry is proceeding according to due process, and no formal charges have been filed against those implicated.  

 

The NACC urged the public to rely on official announcements for updates, cautioning against unverified information circulating online. The investigation continues as part of the commission’s broader efforts to uphold transparency and accountability, reported Siam Rath.
