There are grounds to believe that he violated criminal laws. We have informed the Office of the Permanent Secretary for the PM's Office," a member of a fact-finding committee said yesterday. The source identified the alleged wrongdoer as Watcharachai "Suvijak" Nakwatcharachai, who was recently transferred to the Prime Minister's Office at the behest of the military's ruling National Council for Peace and Order.
According to the source, PM's Office adviser Tongthong Chandransu had launched a disciplinary probe against Suvijak.
"There are nine other government officials found guilty in this case, and they have been punished by a 2-to-4-per-cent cut in salary," the source said, adding that one of these officials held a very senior C-10 rank.
