OAG drops shares concealment case against Thaksin

Office of the Attorney-General (OAG) Wednesday decided to drop alleged shares concealment case against ex-premier Thaksin Shinawatra, his wife Potjaman and two members of Damapong family cause their transfers of SC Asset shares were not legally binding.

According to OAG spokesman Thanapit Moonpruek, the evidence submitted by Department of Special Investigation, which was working on the case, could not find the four defendants guilty in any of the charges according to the Securities and Exchange Act.

The four suspects have been accused of concealing the structure of their shareholdings in SC Asset, a violation of the Stock Exchange of Thailand's information disclosure regulations.

An investigation by the DSI and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) found the accused had hidden shares in Overseas Growth Fund and Offshore Dynamic Fund without informing the SEC.

Their shares in SC Asset and the two firms which acted as their nominees also gave them full control of the board and the shareholders' meetings. Mr Thaksin and his wife have already been indicted by the Supreme Court for alleged corruption in a land purchase deal.
