At yesterday’s court hearing, Pansak Winyarat, an adviser to the then premier, said he had no knowledge of corrupt practices in the Yingluck government’s rice-pledging scheme or the alleged fake government-to-government deals to sell Thai rice to China.

 

Wow.  Amazing they get away with saying this.  It's already been shown how many corrupt practices there were in this scheme.  Maybe this guy should also be charged for not knowing what was going on??? LOL

no its a trial of someone accused of negligence in high office.

 

Of course, that someone has so far not offered any comment on the actual charge and expects to simply be let off.

But this "estimate" is the prediction from Yingluck's defense team. There delaying tactics might not work.
