Court president threatened, says driver

Buncha, 47, who chose not to reveal his last name, has been with Wasan for four years now and said he had answered the first call at his boss’s home on June 1. He added that the caller, who sounded like an elderly person, said that Wasan should be careful when considering cases, otherwise about 20 million red-shirt supporters would be brought over to harass him.

The caller did not mention what case he was talking about in particular, or where these red shirts would show up to put pressure on Wasan, Buncha said. 

The driver said he had answered two calls like this, and had already told his boss about them but Wasan had not reacted. Buncha said he has been very careful when driving his boss around and is always suspicious of motorcycle drivers. He said he has not filed a police complaint because he has never encountered a problem like this before.
