NACC scraps case against Suriya

The anti-graft agency yesterday resolved not to pursue a legal case against Suriya Juengrungruangkit, transport minister in the Thaksin Shinawatra government, for alleged malfeasance in connection with an airport duty-free shop contract.

Nine members of the National Anti-Corruption Commission voted 5-4 to drop the case after the majority found he had not violated laws involving state joint ventures with the private sector and bidding for state projects, NACC spokesman Klanarong Chantik said.
