Graft agency says it has found new evidence for CTX bomb scanner case

The National Anti-Corruption Commission Tuesday postponed its decision on the CTX bomb scanner scandal till next Tuesday, saying it had found new evidence of high-ranking Thai government officials being involved.
NACC member Vichai Vivitsevi said the agency unanimously agreed on the delay as more documents had received from US prosecutors and justice agencies to translate. These included receipts and evidence of the procurement. They would be brought for consideration next time.
The NACC would decide next week and this was expected to take only two hours then.
Vichai said the NACC found new information in the now-defunct Assets Examination Committee’s inquiry report that it had never looked into. That was evidence that convinced it to believe seven or more high-ranking government officials were involved with the CTX sales representatives. It had yet to be probed whether more officials from Suvarnabhumi Airport or politicians were involved.
