Democrat MP Wiruch Romyen yesterday filed a police complaint charging two people for defamation related to the court-video scandal.
In his complaint lodged at the Crime Suppression Division, Wiruch accused Pheu Thai spokesman Prompong Nopparit and Pasit Sakdanarong, former private secretary to the Constitution Court president, of defamation.
He submitted copies of five video clips posted on YouTube as evidence.
He said Prompong and Pasit were part of a smear movement formed to sway the judicial decision in the Democrat Party dissolution trial.
Pasit had sprung a trap by inviting him to dinner to skew the information and portray him and his main coalition party as trying to lobby for a favourable decision, Wiruch said in the complaint.
He said he did not initiate the legal proceedings earlier because he did not want to transgress on the judiciary. Pasit had been fired on Monday, paving the way for him to take action.
