The founder of Thailand’s biggest wind power firm can recover more than $800 million over allegations he faced political pressure and was forced to sell his shares at a massive discount after he fled to Europe, a London judge ruled.

Holding companies of Nopporn Suppipat, who started Wind Energy Holding Co Ltd. in 2006, can recover the damages from the industrialist Nop Narongdej, ex-chairman of the KPN Group, as well as a handful of senior managers who betrayed Nopporn in exchange for bribes.
