Bhanapot's lawyer Pichit Chuenban asked the AEC panel, led by Amnuay Thantara, to return 23 sets of documents that had been handed over to the National Counter Corruption Commission (NCCC) as evidence to support Bhanapot's asset holdings.

Pichit said the AEC panel told him to first find the documents himself, and if they could not be located, to file a complaint with the committee. An AEC source said it was not the body's duty to provide documents that could be used to revoke its freeze order.

Meanwhile, the lawyer accused the AEC of having double standards, saying that on the one hand Bhanapot had been taxed for certain assets on grounds that they belonged to him, but on the other hand the AEC claimed that Bhanapot did not own these assets, and accused him of being a nominee of Thaksin Shinawatra.

He said Bhanapot has already brought the matter to court, accusing the AEC of unjustified treatment.
