Wisanu shrugs off lawsuit threats from Thaksin’s camp

 

 

BANGKOK: -- Deputy Prime Miniser Wisanu Krea-ngarm, on Wednesday, shrugged off threatened lawsuits made by the lawyer of former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra.

 

Responding to a threat by former foreign minister Noppadol Pattama that his client, Thaksin, will file civil and criminal charges against the Revenue Department and authorities concerned over their move to demand 17 billion baht in overdue tax and fine from the sale of Shin Corp’s shares to Singapore’s Temasak Holdings, Dr Wisanu said that public prosecutors would defend the case for those being sued like many other cases.

 

He said that the department had been sued on countless cases, with wins on some cases and losses in other cases “which are quite normal” and without any interference from the government.

 

“Regarding this case, the Revenue Department is not scared, only the press that are panic. They are just performing their duty and, hence, public prosecutors defend for them and there are no disciplinary actions against the officials concerned unless the cases are lost due to gross negligence,” he explained.

 

The deputy prime minister also shrugged off criticism that the department’s action would undermine the government’s efforts to forge reconciliation with political parties and groups.

Thaksin's team  can keep his legal actions going long enough to see the current ptb on their way and then the tables will be turned and the old cycles will start again.

Will also ensure that the nemesis keeps his name in the headlines thanks to those dumbos that want to keep it out.

Thaksin now can start talking about corruption and ineptitude under the junta, as he is being attacked, he will attack the junta.  The junta will be in the spotlight outside of Thailand where their intimidation and evasive techniques do not work.  "It was just a big misunderstanding".

Perhaps not such a good idea, he's embroiled in numerous cases himself and if he stirs up other corruption cases, he may well further embroil himself and his cronies.
