Lottery culprits to be named
Finance Minister Chalongphob Sussangkarn yesterday agreed to follow an appeal by the Assets Examination Committee (AEC) to adjust a complaint against the deposed government for allegedly illegally issuing two- and three-digit lotteries.
His decision followed a one-hour meeting with AEC members and he said the adjusted complaint would point out the exact culprits and their guilt.The Finance Ministry filed the complaint to the AEC on March 30 as the injured party in the ousted government's unlawful decision to sell the new lotteries. Under corruption law, the complaint paves the way for the AEC to proceed to the indictment stage as part of the preparations for prosecution. However, the AEC said the complaint was not complete as it failed to name the people involved and their charges.
