Thai senators file complaint with National Anti-Corruption Commission


BANGKOK: A group of 105 senators on Wednesday (March 12) lodged a complaint with the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC), seeking a malfeasance investigation into the justice minister and the chief of the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) over their probe into the senators.

In the complaint, signed by 105 senators, the upper chamber members alleged that Justice Minister Tawee Sodsong and DSI Director-General Yutthana Praedam had violated Article 157 of the Criminal Code. They argued that the DSI had no authority to investigate elected senators, as this power belongs solely to the Election Commission (EC).
