"she could face one to 10 years in prison or a fine of between Bt2,000 and Bt20,000 or both"

she could be fined the same amount as a foreigner dropping a cigarette butt on the ground or overstaying their "visit"?

Money can buy her freedom. Someone should give a good lesson that money can't buy everything by sending her to jail.

Its nothing more than a purge.

Keep the conspiracies coming though. Makes for good laughing

Nothing more than a....PURGE.

Yes, that's a perfect word.

A definition of PURGE from Wiki.

In history, religion, and political science, a purge is the removal of people who are considered undesirable by those in power from a government, from another organization, from their team owners, or from society as a whole. A group undertaking such an effort is labeled as purging itself. Purges can be either peaceful or violent; with former often resolved by simple removal from office, and latter with the imprisonment, exile, or deaths of those purged. Restoring people who have been purged is known as rehabilitation.

Laxatives are purgatives and we all know the purpose of a laxative.

Its nothing more than a purge.

How such a small % of foreigners avoid the truth, everlasting denial, to suit a dying agenda.

I feel so sorry for the Shin family their record is so clean and above board---NOT. Backing or defending their antic is aiding and abetting.

OR any other corrupt government or non government persons.

Problem here is not everyone, it is about being responsible with Thailands money, the PM is that person sworn in on oath to do just that=good governance

Why is all of Thailand pretending that the rice scheme was anything but a blatant theft of billions from the Thai people. Aren't the Thais ashamed that they constantly let a few people get away with this crap??? They whine about being poor then vote for simians that rob them blind, and turn up at events waving flags and holding up pictures of their 'heroes'. I can imagine the conversations going on in private about how stupid people will continue to vote for them despite their blatant corruption.

Very soon, a poster will tell you that it is Thais democratic right to be robbed blind if that 's what they want, and the only way they will get over their stupidity is to suffer the consequences. I could nominate a few candidates, but will wait to see my prediction fulfilled.

With all due respect I fear I have to disagree with your post. Especially the "they will get over their stupidity is to suffer the consequences" is totally incorrect. It should have read

"they will get over it through another general election to grant a proper mandate to rape the country again".

Thank you for voting, now please go home, there's work to be done

So who's responsible for he huge losses of the Royal Thai airways as that's public money too ?? ?

"Boonsong said the NACC had a hidden agenda in charging him and other officials only two days before the NLA will vote on Yingluck's impeachment.

"I'm a victim for the NACC to link the case to the impeachment although the case could clearly be separated," he said."

It seems the chap doesn't contest the contents of the charge.

you're right, that a case long waiting to be tackled. Still, here we're only busy with the RPPS related crimes.

Ok smart guys . In order for a coup to be successful, it must purge the country of the old regime. If not then its not successful. That is all that is happening now. Of course from the beginning this was going to happen. Its not some big victory for the anti-ying haters so quit getting your panties up in a wad and thinking you have won the lottery or something, you havent. Why do you think we are still in military law? Its because the coup isnt complete.

THis isnt about rice, its about the rich and privileged taking back what they feel is theirs he country of Thailand.

In 5 years or less, the country will be right back in this crap....mark my words. We cant live forever.

The people in charge of course.. however these cost were in the budget and were not hidden off budget even though it was known there was a high monetary cost. Why is it that everyone seems to forget the problem is that they did not want to budget for this scheme. The reason being their deficit was too much. Had they budgeted this they would have to cut other vote buying measures (eh popular policies).

Knowing when something is incurring high cost and not putting it on the budget is fraud / negligence.

2,000 to 20,000 fine. Why bother that is not a punishment.

The NACC has also said it intends to follow up the criminal case with a civil case to recover some of the nation's losses. That could result in all her assets in Thailand being confiscated and she can be tried in absentia in a civil case, just like the case where her brother was fined B46 billion.

I think the fines in the Penal Code have not been amended since the 50s when that was a lot of money. She will also get a further 5-year ban from politics, if convicted and sentenced to prison.

Dubai here she comes.

This well planned and staged events by the elites of Bangkok to force the Shinawatras and allies out of power and out if the country and eradicate any vestigial remnants has been on tracked. They can control every aspect of the plan with their own people in the independent agencies and with the junta as the government. But can they win an election with their own chosen party? The division and discern for the elites bullying tactics just got wider and the people will respond come next election.

You are absolutely correct. Just consider how much money and trauma Thailand could have been saved if they shot the mongrel in 2006. You don't see Ceausescu's trying to take control of Romania, do you?

Off topic.

If you want to know about that then open another topic.

Yep, it's a purge and last days to really pile on before they drive a stake in the heart of this poor woman. Meanwhile, the excellent explanation of the program and the ousted government's defense is filed in a dark place.

The petty, the malcontents, the haters doing all they can to somehow make this travesty and mockery of justice seem like "Justice". It's not, it's just a power grab rationalizing itself, daily.

Well thank you, dear Eric.

Now back to the topic of a former PM who stated in parliament to be the only one in charge of her cabinet. With her hand picked Minister of Commerce having done wrong I guess it's only justly so it reflects on her.

The Shin attack dogs are back in their kennel since late May, 2014. Only the verbal ones left here.

BTW "over your skis much" ? I had to look that up first. Not many mountains in the Netherlands and not much snow in Thailand. "being ahead of oneself or behaving rashly". Maybe this indeed applies to k. Boonsong

I am at a loss to understand how the ' Bangkock Elite' managed to implement the rice pledging scheme and force it to lose all the money.

How they managed to arrange the fake G 2 G deals where the rice was sold to unauthorised Chinese companies, never exported but sold to Thai companies.

I don't understand how they managed to get the rice in storage to deteriorate so quickly or how they arranged for large quantities to disappear.

Nor did I realize that it was them who were in charge of the reds when they were bullying, threatening and intimidating anyone who stood in their way.

I can understand someone who has been constantly been bombarded by the hate and lies spewed forth from a village sound system or children at a red school failing to understand for they have few other sources of information.

However I can not understand how someone who is supposedly educated enough to use a computer and can look for themselves and see what has been going on with the rice pledging and other schemes can constantly defend the corruption that is so obviously involved.

I'm amazed that anyone with some knowledge believes this is about rice, corruption or anything remotely connected. It's about ************* (censored) and they must destroy their opponents by fair means or foul to protect the elite

If you have not 'caught on' to that then you have bought into the 'happiness brainwash machine' but someone did say 'ignorance is bliss' so you must be very happy

It would be nice to see all the wrong doers striped of their assets and through a special deal with Russia have them sent to Siberia to work in a salt mine for 10 years.

i believe a G2G contract has been signed.

It will surprise you, but 'this' here is indeed about the RPPS and all shenanigans around it which led to a 700 billion Baht loss. Politicians to be held responsible, the PM in charge to be held responsible, crooks who siphoned of some money to be held responsible. The negligence of Ms. Yingluck seems to have given the wrong idea that deceiving, defrauding and stealing can be done with impunity by politicians and all connected to them.

Banana republic. Peanuts compared to where the real money and corruption lie but let's not talk about the real world. What I find amazing is how dumb some of these expat commenters are. Give your bloody heads a shake you fools. FOLLOW the BIG money.

my dear rubl 'whirl, whirl, slosh, slosh' goes the Junta brainwashing machine

I guess you think the EU CAP is a 'loss' too and not a subsidy? and the US farming subsidy too? this is not about that at all it's about vengeance and securing the future

Seems a lot of posters wanna 'nail it' in one sense or another.

So dereliction of duty carries a one to ten years in gaol and a 2,000 to 20,000 bt fine, WOW lucky she wasn't out picking mushrooms, that's 15 years in the slot.

or selling second hand DVD'S,

I recon you could get most of the BIB'S on that one, half the teachers, most of the politicians, most of the government workers, etc, etc, etc,,,,

Time to build a lot more gaols here, convict one, convict all.

This is nothing more than shuffling political deck chairs but the titanic will still go down, selected token heads will roll and meet the new boss same as the old one.

But wouldn't it be nice if all the documents of evidence regarding the DEM'S crooked ways didn't conveniently go floating off in the flood and there was real and fair justice for all.
