Police asked to investigate alleged bribes to constitution judges
Activist Veera Somkwamkid petitioned police on Friday to investigate the alleged attempt to bribe judges in the electoral fraud case involving the Thai Rak Thai party.
In his petition, Veera asked police to identify the two people who allegedly acted as brokers to offer bribes to two judges of the Constitution Tribunal."I suspect the culprits might be a police colonel and a senior official in the Judicial Commission," he said. The two are law graduates from Thammasat University's class of 1966, he said, claiming that the culprits used their school ties to approach the judges. The class of 1966 graduates hold many key positions in the judiciary and have gained prominence in the legal profession. One member of the class is Somchai Wongsawat, a former permanent secretary of the Justice Ministry and brotherinlaw of ousted premier Thaksin Shinawatra.
