Yingluck had nothing to do with Thaksin's passports: NACC
Former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra has been found to have had no role in her brother, fugitive ex-PM Thaksin, being granted a passport, anti-corruption panel chairman Panthep Klanarongran said Wednesday.
He said investigators from the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) looking into the allegation decided that former foreign minister Surapong Tovichakchaikul and then-Foreign Ministry permanent secretary may face impeachment over the matter depending on further scrutiny.
However, the NACC will decide within this month over whether it will take legal action against those involved in the case, Panthep said.
Meanwhile, Yingluck will report to the NACC on Tuesday to hear charges levelled against her in relation to the compensation scheme for victims of political protest, mostly red shirts, Panthep said.
The NACC chairman Wednesday told media that the anti-corruption panel had issued sent a summons to Yingluck and 34 members of her cabinet, detailing the charge.
The concerned parties, including the former premier, will have the opportunity to defend themselves before NACC between June 9 and 30.
