The National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) and Office of the Attorney-General (OAG) have agreed there are grounds to indict TV anchorman Sorayuth Suthassanachinda for embezzlement, but a final decisionhas not been made.
The joint panel of the NACC and OAG was set up to examine the case in which Sorayuth was alleged to have embezzled 138 million baht in advertising revenue from Mcot Plc, the state-owned operator of Channel9.
The panel was formed after prosecutors last year called for a re-examination of the case, saying the original NACC investigation was incomplete.
Sorayuth, an executive of the Rai Som Company, allegedly embezzled 138 million baht in revenue from surplus advertising time when his company was hired to produce the Khui Khui Khao TV programme for thechannel from 2005 to 2006
. He also allegedly paid two Mcot staff members, customer service officer Pitchapha Iamsa-ard and her supervisor Anya Uthai, chief of the general affairs division, to conceal records of actual income.
Montha Thiradet, an executive of Sorayuth's Raisom Co, was also accused of helping Ms Pitchapha carry out the crime.
Speaking about the probe at a briefing yesterday, OAG spokesman Wanchai Rujanawong said the joint panel of OAG and NACC had completed compiling the evidence.
The OAG representatives will discuss the recommendation to arraign the four people at a meeting with the NACC again before deciding on the indictment, Mr Wanchai said
He believed there will be no more difference of opinion between the OAG and the NACC. No date has been fixed for the panel's decision on the indictment, he said.
