Thaksin's relatives face arrest warrants
Members of former premier Thaksin Shinawatra's family will face arrest warrants if they fail to appear at hearings for charges linked to the controversial sale of Shin Corp, Police Maj Gen Amnuay Nimmano, commander of Metropolitan Police Division 2, said on Wednesday.
He spoke after the Assets Examination Committee legal adviser Montien Charoenphol sought to lay charges against the former PM's wife Pojaman, his son Panthongtae, Bussaba Damapong and Pojaman's secretary Kanchanapa Honghern.
All had failed to testify after being summonsed to appear before a special anti-graft panel.
Major General Amnuay said police would collect evidence, then summons the accused to testify. If the four did not respond, police would issue arrest warrants for them.
