Former Tourism Authority of Thailand governor Juthamas Siriwan will be indicted for allegedly accepting Bt60 million in bribes in 2010 in exchange for giving two US film executives movie festival contracts, a graft official said Thursday.
The joint panel of the National Anti-Corruption Commission and the Office of the Auditor-General resolved on July 27 to indict Juthamas for graft, NACC secretary-general Sansern Polajiak said yesterday.
Juthamas will be given 15 days to report herself to the Attorney General or she an arrest warrant, he said.
Sansern said prosecutors would file the indictment at the Criminal Court. She had the right to seek court approval for a temporarily release on bail, he said.
