Play
Several more state officials will have their assets confiscated in relation to the Bt4.3 billion tax-refund case, National Anti-Corruption Commissioner Supa Piyajitti said yesterday.
She was referring to the NACC fact-finding panel’s decision to freeze Bt179 million worth of gold owned by former Revenue Department head Satit Rungkasiri and two other officials from the same department – Suwat Jarumaniroj and Supakij Riyakarn.
A source said the NACC had set up two panels – one to investigate the corruption allegation, led by NACC member Pakdee Pothisiri; and another to look into unusual acquisition of wealth, which is chaired by Supa.
The three officials’ assets were frozen as a result of inquiries by these two panels. A source from the panel on the unusually rich said Satit’s assets amount to Bt600 million.
