Yingluck's future: A Thai court or exile?
The National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) has decided to recommend former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra be indicted for dereliction of duty in failing to deal with corruption and losses in the rice-pledging scheme.
The decision has raised questions over whether or not Ms Yingluck will flee into exile or return to Thailand to face charges since she has already obtained permission from the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) to travel to Europe next week.
NACC member Vicha Mahakhun said Thursday the commission ruled by a vote of 7-0 there are sufficient grounds to the allegations that Ms Yingluck was negligent in failing to scrap the pledging scheme despite knowing it was plagued with corruption and huge losses.
