Cabinet OKs civil lawsuits against Ms Yingluck Shinawatra and Boonsong Teriyaphirom

BANGKOK: -- The Finance Ministry has been instructed to file civil lawsuit against former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra demanding compensation for damages inflicted by the failed rice pledging scheme, said Deputy Prime Minister Visanu Krua-ngarm today (Wednesday).

Meanwhile, the Commerce Ministry will file similar lawsuit against former commerce minister Boonsong Teriyaphirom and 20 other associaties in connection with the rice pledging scheme.

Dr Visanu chaired a meeting Tuesday with representatives of the Finance, Commerce and Agriculture ministries to consider a recommendation from the National Anti-Corruption Commission that civil lawsuits be filed against all those responsible for causing damages to the rice scheme.

He explained that it was the duty of authorities concerned to follow up with the NACC’s recommendation and whether those held accountable for causing damages to the rice scheme would be found guilty or not would depend on the court’s judgement.

Regarding the criminal litigation against Ms Yingluck for alleged dereliction of duty in the management of the rice scheme, Dr Visanu said that the special panel of the Supreme Court’s criminal division for political office holders would decide on March 19 whether to accpt Ms Yingluck’s case for consideration or not.

She did nothing wrong.

It was a subsidy.

It was supposed to lose money.

Don't the fools understand.

Some policy to help the poor lose money.

Bad policy. Yes.

Corruption by yingluck.

No.

Fools and horses.

Problem is that the money did not go to the farmers

It went to friends families and off shore accounts

They would not start this process unless they have at least a little bit of evidence

Jail or run ... her two choices

It's doubtful that anyone in the government wants to see her jailed... it would create too much sympathy for her.

The court cases will drag on for years, and in the meantime she will be out of the game politically.

The current govt will never admit it but it's highly unlikely anyone will ever see any jail time if ever convicted of crime XYZ...the criminal judicial process will just drag out forever or the accused will slip out of the country. So, the current govt is probably thinking let's just make it easier for anybody to sue/file civil lawsuits against Yinluck and her associates which will hopefully cause them many years of pain and money spent on defense lawyers and payoffs.

The case against her is not about corruption! It´s about neglection.

A protest by farmers that lasted for days at the Indochina intersection in Phitsanulok has ended in tears.
After claiming they had been pressured by intimidation, the farmers dispersed Tuesday evening and had no idea when long-overdue payments from the government's rice-pledging scheme would arrive.

"We don't know what to do next," Siraprapha Kukhong, 49, one of the protest leaders, said yesterday.

Another protest leader, Chatree Ampoon, could not be reached for comment following reports that red shirts and officials had intimidated his wife over his participation in the protest. "She called him about the threats she faced. He was overwhelmed and cried. Many of us cried with him," Siraprapha said.

A number of local farmers began their rally at the Indochina intersection on Monday to press for payment from the government's controversial rice-pledging scheme. In recent months, the scheme has repeatedly postponed the payment to farmers, many of whom had to turn to loan sharks to cover their living expenses.

Some farmers who had no one to borrow from ended up committing suicide.

Watch the borders closely, She will find a way to join her bother out of the hands of Thailand justice!

Let her go, will save a lot of protest. But make sure she and her brother leave enough assets behind to cover their debts.

Time to sue the current government for all economic losses , ...... a tenfold of the rice scheme.....

There are losses as in money spent incorrectly, unrealised income, etc., etc.

Government Officials (which includes PM and cabinet members) can by law be held responsible for losses as in money having spent inappropriately or for losses by sales at loss making prices.

So, shall we leave it at that or shall we continue with a few more charges for Ms. Yingluck for causing protests causing economical damage, Abhisit not giving in to protesters in 2010 causing losses, or Somchai in 2008, Thaksin in 2006.

Hi Rubl,

which law is this you are referring to?

So the law suits will continue until they finally force her to leave the country.

Anybody who considers this administration reconciliatory is ignorant.

Just think one day, she might even answer the Ombudsman's question about the illegal passport her cousin the former foreign minister issued and hand delivered to her criminal fugitive brother at a time the country was facing the worst floods in living memory.

Hope cousin number 1 has a receipt for the cost of the new passport and the air fare - hate to see him charged with misusing tax payers money as well as illegal issuing of a passport to a criminal fugitive.

What in the world are you talking about......
