BANGKOK: Police have accused Pheu Thai Party key politician Watana Muangsook of instigating the public ahead of the Aug 25 court verdict in the negligence case against former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra.
Special Branch police officers filed a complaint with the Crime Suppression Division (CSD) against Watana on Thursday in connection with his Facebook message posted on Monday, CSD superintendent Pol Colonel Thongchai Yooket said on Friday. According to the complaint, Watana’s message was intended to mislead public members about the justice system and the government, involving the actions over the Yingluck administration’s rice-pledging scheme, Thongchai said.
