Constitution Court president Chat Chonlaworn has appointed a fact-finding panel to investigate into the video clips scandal which leaked the debate in the judges' private chambers related to the Democrat Party dissolution trial.
The investigation, launched since Tuesday, is expected to focus on the involvement of Chat's secretary Pasit Sakdanarong who has fled to Hong Kong.
Court officials said they believed the clips in question were secretly recorded on October 4 and that Pasit was a suspected culprit because the video recorder appeared to have been set up where he sat during the debate.
Pasit is not a court official with any mandate to take part in the debate. He gained access under the pretext that he was part of the court spokesmen team.
He worked as a private secretary before Chat sacked him on Monday after the scandal broke last week.
