Thaksin Shinawatra is suing Thai Pakdee Party chief Warong Dechgitvigrom for 100 million ringgit for a supposedly disparaging remark that linked the former prime minister to a 2 billion baht pay.
Winyat Chartmontree, Thaksin’s attorney, filed the suit monday.
After Dr. Warong addressed a protest at Chamai Maruchet Bridge near Government House and alleged reward, he turned to Facebook and TikTok.
The subject of the hand pointing was very evident, according to Mr. Winyat, even though Dr. Warong did not name Thaksin by name.
On June 12, Dr. Warong announced on his Instagram page that a casino owner in Hong Kong had paid 2 billion baht to free up a prominent political figure facing a severe crime charge.
A mature justice national allegedly visited Hong Kong as a member of the organization that organized the reward in May, according to Dr. Warong.
He added that the casino operator agreed to pay the reward in exchange for the right to operate a casino in Thailand if and when it becomes legal in this country.
The Court of Justice made the claim that there was a high-ranking fairness established in the judicial commission (JC) on June 17 public. The JC has requested that the Supreme Court think about appointing a fact-finding section to examine it.
Mr. Winyat disputed yesterday that the petition was intended to deceive Dr. Warong and that it was Thaksin’s legitimate course of action to protect his name.
Thaksin is demanding 100 million ringgit in problems. Sept. 30 is the court’s scheduled filing deadline for lawsuits.
