Sorry - this page has been removed. Yingluck Shinawatra to face criminal charge, says Thai attorney general
(3 months later)
This could be because it launched early, our rights have expired, there was a legal issue, or for another reason. Thailand’s attorney general will indict former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra for negligence over a controversial rice subsidy scheme.
Yingluck will face a criminal charge in Thailand’s supreme court, Surasak Theerattrakul, director general at the attorney general’s department of investigation, told reporters on Friday.
For further information, please contact: If found guilty, Yingluck would face a maximum of 10 years in jail.
The announcement comes just hours before the country’s military-appointed legislature is scheduled to vote in a separate impeachment case against Yingluck for allegedly failing to exercise sufficient oversight over the scheme.
