Court approves arrest warrant against Thaksin, wife in SC Assets case

The South Bangkok District Court Monday approved another warrant for the arrest of former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra and his wife, Pojaman, in the alleged shares concealment involving SC Assets Co Ltd.



The court approved the arrest warrant at 11:30 am at the request of Department of Special Investigation.

The DSI sought the arrest warrant after the former prime minister and his wife have ailed to hear formal charges of assets concealment involving SC Asset.

The DSI has announced there was evidence the accused conspired in concealing their shares in SC Asset, a listed company, which is in violation of the Securities and Exchange Act. Involved are four overseas funds - Win Mark, Value Investment Mutual Fund (VIF), Overseas Growth Fund (OGF) and Offshore Dynamic Fund (ODF).

The DSI said its investigating team also found Thaksin could have violated the anti-corruption law and could have intended to conceal the shares when he was the prime minister.

The DSI also suspected that Thaksin had committed actions for control or benefits from the companies.

The DSI said it had "convincing evidence" that Win Mark, VIF, OGF and ODF were nominees of Thaksin and his wife.
