AEC wants to prosecute the entire Thaksin government for new lotteries

The Assets Examination Committee is likely to reiterate its decision to prosecute all 47 defendants, including the Thaksin Shinawatra Cabinet, on graft charges relating to the two and threedigit loterries.



AEC member Udom Fuangfung confirmed the stand on Tuesday following the prosecution review to recommend the scaling down of defendants to four, namely, former prime minister Thaksin, former Finance minister Suchart Jaovisidha his deputy Varathep Rattanakorn and Government Lottery Office former director Surasit Sangkhapong.

 Udom said the AEC will review the prosecution report on Monday. Should the AEC disagree with the prosecutors, a joint panel will be formed to thrash out differing legal opinions on the scope of trial within 30 days, he said.
