Thaksin ‘yet to testify’ in hospital stay case
According to activist attorney, the Constitutional Court is anticipated to decide on November 13 whether to take the complaint.
As the deadline for public prosecution to publish a statement on the situation to the Constitutional Court techniques, former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra has not yet testified in a situation in which he and the decision Pheu Thai Party are accused of trying to destroy the constitutional monarchy.
So far, only lawyer Teerayut Suwankesorn, who lodged the petition against Thaksin and the party, and Chousak Sirinil, the Prime Minister’s Office Minister and Pheu Thai’s chief legal expert, have testified at the Office of the Attorney-General ( OAG ), according to a source familiar with the case.
In addition to the numerous allegations in the complaint, Thaksin is said to have used the Ministry of Justice to secure an additional sit at the Police General Hospital when he should have been in prison following his judgment for abuse of power last year.
Mr. Teerayut, who is also credited with bringing the issue that led to the original opposition movement’s dissolution, claimed to have given his declaration to the OAG on October 30 and that he had spent three hours going over the information.
Thaksin’s prolonged hospital stay received particular attention from the authorities he met with, according to the lawyer. If the court accepted the plea, he informed them that he had prepared a list of witnesses to submit to the jury.
The Constitutional Court is still deciding whether to grant the critique complaint.  ,
The judge stated that in order to gain the event, it had a decision to ask the OAG to submit a review by November 11 outlining the steps taken in relation to Mr. Teerayut’s petition, including whether any new information has been collected.
The court is scheduled to meet next Wednesday to determine whether or not to take Mr. Teerayut’s complaint, he said.
On September 24, he first complained to the OAG, asking for an investigation into Thaksin and Pheu Thai and a decision. After the OAG failed to respond to his demand within 15 days, he immediately filed the complaint with the jury.
Mr. Teerayut also alleged Thaksin of pressuring the Thai government to discuss Cambodia’s marine resources in a manner that conflicts with its own interests in the petition.
The sea boundary between the two countries remains in debate, and Pheu Thai is now seeking to resurrect conversations, he said.
