Sakulthorn was not a suspect in bribery case, say prosecutors

Sakulthorn Juangroongruangkit was not indicted in a bribery case involving a block of land in central Bangkok owned by the Crown Property Bureau because he was not a suspect, a spokesman for the attorney-general said on Wednesday.

Police were investigating his possible involvement in a separate bribery case, Itthiporn  Kaewthip told reporters.

Mr Itthiporn called a press conference to reply to questions raised by the committee on law and justice of the House of Representatives, which asked why prosecutors did not indict Mr Sakulthorn for his alleged involvement in a case in which two people were jailed for taking bribes.

Mr Sakulthorn is chief executive of Real Asset Development and younger brother of Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit, leader of the Progressive Movement. (continues below)
