Seri testifies against corruption allegation

Seri was transferred to the PM's Office Ministry after Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej ordered a disciplinary probe against him for his involvement in the corruption allegation. Seri is also accused of illegally transferring police and allegedly used abusive language with subordinates.

After testifying before Attorney General Chaikasem Nitisiri who heads the disciplinary panel, Seri said that he was innocent and expressed confidence that he could clear himself of the three charges.

He said there was not incriminating evidence in the corruption allegation in the car rent project. He insisted he transferred police in accordance with rules and regulations. Over the use of offensive language, Seri defended himself hitting back at Samak for also using inappropriate language with reporters such as "having a sinful sex". "There has been no investigation against the PM for that,'' he said.
