Thailand’s National Anti-Corruption Commission found former Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra guilty of negligence for failing to stem losses from a state rice-subsidy program.
The decision was unanimous, with all seven commissioners saying Yingluck should have halted the program after being warned of losses that grew to an estimated 500 billion baht ($15.5 billion), Commissioner Vicha Mahakun told reporters in Bangkok. The commission will forward the opinion to the Office of the Attorney General, which could then file a suit with the Supreme Court’s Criminal Division for Political Office Holders.
