Suthep gets 15 days to file legal defence for PDRC trespass case

BANGKOK: -- The Civil Court Monday allowed Suthep Thaugsuban to submit a defence statement within 15 days in response to a case filed by the Finance Ministry over the People's Democratic Reform Committee trespassing at the Finance Ministry during the anti-government protests earlier this year.

The ministry has demanded compensation of Bt536,986 for damage caused after thenPDRC chief Suthep - who is currently known as Phra Suthep - led protesters when they entered several of its premises.

It is also seeking Bt500,000 for every month the PDRC protested at the ministry and 7.5 per cent interest on that amount.

Looks like they're charging him rent.

[Snig27]

Shouldn't be a problem for him coming up with the cash - the corrupt old scumbag must have millions tucked away in cash after the way he fleeced Bangkokians for months.

[clockman]

Well, he was behind the palm oil scam! Now forgotten. Because T.I.T.

[Captain_Bob]

Surely he's been preparing for this for years. All part of the plan to re-claim the country away from Mr. T.

And it's working =)

Perhaps the Finance Ministry would accept a 50-year zero-coupon bond, in lieu of ready-cash ?

[ChrisY1]

Petty cash for this man.....but of course, he probably won't really have to pay anything immediately......take the payments over 20 years.....

But but but that's not fair........ Yingluck was given 21 days..and she spat the dummy...

Is this Mango Bob reincarnated ?

I hope this is just the beginning of the end for Suthip. They made a move called Dumb and Dumber Wonder where he would fit in

Clearly his defense for occupation is that he was safeguarding national security of the nation, bringing law and order, and was the rightfull leader of the nation by fiat. He even went so far as to demand that all government ministers report to him for further instructions when he occupied the Government House. Really, his occupation was no more legal than that of the military junta if one follows the 2006 Constitution. So why should he be singled out unless the Minstry will also file trespassing charges against the Junta.

Is this all they could up with against the this guy?
