Prayuth denies ordering banks to conceal his assets
Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha Friday night denied that he had ordered banks to hide his and his brothers' assets.
He said someone tried to discredit him by spreading false information on Internet.
"There have been false documents spread in social networks complete with forged headers and footers as well as content, about a request to a bank to conceal the alleged assets of mine and my brothers. Who in his right mind would do so?" Prayuth said during his weekly TV programme.
"It would be nice if I had that much amount of money so I would use it to pay off the debts of fellow Thai citizens or do something good for national interests. The bank is also aware of the case and has come out to clarify the truth. I am afraid there are some people who still believe in this fake document. I have to speak about thus matter in order to prevent this kind of slander from being circulated again."
He cited his case as an example that resistance to the junta and the government still existed.
