Thailand's National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) has announced the formation of a special committee to investigate accusations that several government officials facilitated a scheme for Thaksin Shinawatra, the influential figure behind the Pheu Thai party, to feign serious illness, enabling him to reside at the Police Hospital rather than in a conventional prison. This scrutiny comes amidst broader concerns about potential abuses of power and misconduct by officials.
