Govt will have to seize Yingluck's assets within 10 years: Wissanu
Play
Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam on Thursday said the statute of limitation for the seizure of ex-premier Yingluck Shinawatra’s assets is 10 years and it has already begun.
The state could seize her assets during the period once they were found, he said.
Yingluck has been charged with negligence for failing to prevent corruption in the scheme.
The scheme allegedly wasted around Bt500 billion of state budget and Yingluck herself has been charged in a criminal case and told to compensate Bt35 billion of the damage.
Wissanu earlier said officials had no idea where Yingluck’s assets were, suggesting no asset seizure has yet been carried out.
He affirmed that the process has not stopped, because official concerns have their own ways of accomplishing the task.
