AEC panel finds scanner evidence

An Assets Examination Committee panel has obtained incriminating evidence that might seal the CTX baggage-scanner case, a source in the panel said yesterday.

Published on July 13, 2007



Important documents, including an audit of GE InVision, the manufacturer, show details on "contribution paid", the source said.

The copies were supplied by the US Justice Department in its report on the investigation into the purchase by GE of InVision Technologies, which sold the CTX explosives detectors to Airports of Thailand for Suvarnabhumi Airport.

The panel headed by Amnuay Thantara is convinced that the line item specified as "contribution paid" indicates bribery used to grease the deal, the source said, adding that this will be used to indict the suspects.

Another panel has invited Thirachai Phuvanart-naranubala, secretary-general of the Securities and Exchange Commission, to testify today over the Shin Corp share sale.

He will be asked whether the SEC had ever examined if any laws were violated by the sale and if it knew which kinds of payments Thaksin Shinawatra and his wife Pojaman used in selling Shin Corp shares to their family members.

The panel suspects that the couple did not sell the shares but only used family members to hold them in their names.

It also wants to question Thirachai more about the link between the Shin Corp share sale and British Virgin Islands-registered Win Mark.
