2014 corruption investigation

[Utley]

The biography of Yingluck Shinawatra according to Wikipedia:

As Chairperson of the rice committee, Yingluck Shinawatra is facing investigation, with Thailand's anti-graft agency who are investigating Yingluck's role in the rice pledging scheme after bringing formal charges of corruption against two of her cabinet ministers. The National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) will check to see if she was negligent in her duties as chair of the National Rice Policy Committee.

Despite being chairperson of the rice committee, Yingluck admitted in the 2013 Censure debate against her government that she had never attended meetings of the National Rice Policy Committee.

On May 7, 2014, the Constitutional Court unanimously dismissed Yingluck from office in consequence of the unconstitutional transfer of a top security officer Thawil Pliensri as National Security Council secretary-general in 2011. Thawil was moved from the post in September 2011, paving the way for then police chief Pol Gen Wichean to replace him. Pol Gen Priewpan Damapong, the brother of the former wife of Yingluck's brother Thaksin, succeeded Pol Gen Wichean as police chief. Yingluck argued that Pol Gen Priewpan's appointment was not for the sake of her family because Thaksin had already divorced Potjaman Damapong when the transfer was made.

On May 8, 2014, the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) unanimously agreed to indict Yingluck in the rice-pledging scheme corruption case citing millions of rice farmers who remain unpaid.

Do we really need another thread to tell us YS is guilty of corruption ?

Perhaps you should read the article before you post your reply......just a thought.

Is it true that Yingluck appointed all the members of the NACC? I know the junta charged them with resuming the investigation.
