Move ahead Party list-MP Theeratchai Panthumas called for the National Anti-Corruption Fee (NACC) on Wednesday to reopen an investigation into the ownership of luxury watches simply by Deputy Prime Ressortchef (umgangssprachlich) Prawit Wongsuwon, exactly who claimed to have lent them from a past due close friend.

Mr Theeratchai said new information offers emerged that one from the timepieces, seen used by Gen Prawit and never declared to the NACC, was not section of the inheritance of Pattawat Suksriwong, who apparently lent the timepieces to Gen Prawit. He said the particular wristwatch in question has been seen on Gen Prawit’s arm throughout a group photo session for newly sworn-in cabinet ministers in Government House.

Mr Theeratchai said that with this brand new piece of evidence, the NACC should reopen the investigation plus clear any lingering doubt surrounding possession of the luxury watches.
