NACC to interview witnesses in THAI, Rolls-Royce corruption probe

By The Nation

 

The National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) will seek to interview witnesses this week in a bid to substantiate its allegations against at least 26 people, including former transport ministers, over a bribery scandal concerning aircraft purchases involving THAI Airways International (THAI) and British engine-maker Rolls-Royce.

 

NACC secretary-general Sansern Poljiak said the commission, which is handling the investigation itself to expedite charges against wrongdoers, would convene this week to discuss its approach to the probe and invite witnesses to give testimony.

 

The NACC last week announced an official investigation into the case after finding grounds to proceed with the case. 

 

Twenty-six people, including the former ministers and top executives of THAI, have been linked to the scandal and will be invited to testify before the NACC.

 

From 2004-05, THAI, under the supervision of the Transport Ministry and the flag-carrier’s board of directors, placed orders for six Boeing 777-200ER jets and one Airbus A340-500/600 equipped with Rolls-Royce engines.
