Leader of a small party guilty of forging documents for candidates
The Constitutional Tribunal found Bunyabaramipon Chinarat, leader of Pandin Thai party, guilty of forging documents for three candidates to run in the April election.
The tribunal based their decision on the supreme court which ruled that the three were not qualified to run in the election.
Earlier the Tribunal judges ruled that two senior members of Thai Rak Thai party found guilty of violating the election laws by paying and hiring others to run in an election.
The nine-member Tribunal said in its reading that former TRT deputy leader Thamarak Isarangura and ex-deputy secretary general Pongsak Ruktapongpisal involved in the paying and hiring politicians of Pattana Chart Thai party to run in the April national election.
Footage from closed-circuit cameras showed representatives of the parties waiting for Thamarak, then defence ministry, at the ministry. Pongsak is accused of acting as a negotiator for Thamarak while discussing the alleged hiring of small partis at the Thai Rak Thai headquarter.
