Thailand’s second-largest listed construction firm dropped the most in almost 13 years on Wednesday over a bribery allegation.

Sino-Thai Engineering & Construction Pcl fell as much as 23%, the biggest slide since December 2006, after the National Anti-Corruption Commission said it’s seeking charges against the firm’s President Pakpoom Srichamni, and others, over the claims.
