Supreme Court accepts 'unusually rich' lawsuit against Somsak

The Supreme Court's Criminal Division for Holders of Political Office Tuesday accepted an "unusually rich" lawsuit against former education minister Somsak Prissanananthakul for review. The court scheduled the first hearing on January 20.

The court also appointed Vice Supreme Court President Chartchai Akkarawibul as the advocate judge for the case.
Somsak was accused by the National Anti-Corruption Commission of falsifying assets statements eight times since May 6 1997.
The NACC alleged that Somsak had Bt28 million in 21 bank accounts and failed to report the accounts to the NACC in the eight asset statements.
