BANGKOK : -- The National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) submitted its criminal case file against former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra regarding the rice pledging scheme to the Office of the Attorney-General (OAG) on Tuesday.
The NACC accused Yingluck of
malfeasance in office under Article 157 of the Criminal Code for her
gross negligence in overseeing the scheme causing enormous 500 billion
baht loss to the state coffers.
OAG spokesperson Mrs Santanee

chief to look into all the charges and the evidences.
If there are substantial evidence in the report, the OAG could then
proceed the prosecution in the Supreme Court’s Criminal Division for
Holders of Political Posts, she said.
