Red-shirt group wins appeal against ex-Attorney-General
Play
The Appeal Court Friday ordered the Criminal Court to consider a malfeasance case against former attorney-general Chaikasem Nitisiri and his deputy.
The case was filed by eight red shirts led by Veerakarn Musigapong, but was dropped by the Criminal Court on grounds that state prosecutors had done their duty according to the law. The Appeal Court Friday overruled that decision and ordered the Criminal Court to rehear the case.
Veerakarn and his group said Chaikasem and his deputy, Thaworn Panichphan, abused their power by submitting a case against the red shirts, which the Criminal Court later dropped. Veerakarn then filed the malfeasance case against the attorneys.
