Thaksin's defence to call first witness on Bt76 billion asset seizure


The Supreme Court will on Thursday convene to hear the first batch of two defence witnesses on the Bt76 billion asset seizure case involving ex-premier Thaksin Shinawatra and his family.

At the trial conducted in absentia, the defence team has summoned Kanchanpa Honghern, secretary to Thaksin's ex-wife Pojaman, and legal adviser Chatchai Tanthaprasart, to testify.

Public prosecutors contend Thaksin's fortune is ill-gotten amassed from conflict of interest.

The defence will call 56 witnesses and the prosecution has lined up 58 witnesses. Each side is allocated 25 hearings for testimonies.
