The individual in question, identified as Wilaiporn (surname withheld), has been accused of corruption and misconduct under section 1 of the Criminal Court case number 12/2565, dated September 2. She is alleged to have taken advantage of her position as a senior financial and accounting officer at the Human Security and Social Development Office in Saraburi Province.
