Ex-AEC member satisfied with court ruling on Thaksin assets seizure case
BANGKOK, Feb 27 (TNA) - A member of the now disbanded Assets Examination Committee (AEC) said he is satisfied with the ruling of the Supreme Court’s Criminal Division for Holders of Political Positions which ordered seizing assets valued at Bt46 billion (US$1.4 billion) from ousted premier Thaksin Shinawatra from the entire Bt76.6 billion ($2.3 billion) in his frozen assets.
Sak Korsaengruang, former AEC spokesman, said he viewed that the verdict as clear and covering all the points, and urged all parties to respect and retain faith in the judgment.
When asked if the AEC’s work was considered complete when the assets of the convicted former prime minister were confiscated, Mr Sak said he considered the mission of the committee finished since it had worked hard to gather evidence and finally filed the case, clear with facts and findings according to the law, to the court. Therefore, how much the Supreme Court seized Mr Thaksin’s assets was its judgment anon which the AEC should not make a comment.
Mr Thaksin had previously claimed that a reward of 25 per cent of the seized assets would go to the committee, Mr Sak affirmed that it was not true, and that the AEC did not have any nominee for such a reward.
He said the AEC had collected the evidence itself, no one provided any traces or hints of Mr Thaksin’s cases during the court’s hearing process,therefore there was no anyone entitled for the reward that would give to anyone who could provide traces or evidence related to the case.
Mr Sak said the members of the now disbanded AEC would meet Tuesday to discuss cases pending to be sent to the Attorney General's Office for further legal action. (TNA)
