Supreme Court to hold hearing on the Exim Bank loan case against Thaksin
The Supreme Court ruled on Wednesday to consider the Exim Bank loan case filed by Assets Examination Committee against former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra.
The high court's Criminal Division of Political Office Holders has scheduled September 16 for the first hearing of witnesses.
AEC accused Thaksin of abusing his position to order a Bt1 billion increase in the amount of loans to Burma, allegedly for the benefit of his family's satellite and broadband businesses.
A total of Bt4 billion was extended to the Burmese government to improve its infrastructure and telecom sector in 2004. This came with the condition that the Burmese government purchase materials from the Shinawatra family's Shin Corp.
This is a third graft case linked to Thaksin. His first litigation is the Ratchadapisek land case and the second is the lottery case.
