The Supreme Court’s Criminal Division for Holders of Political Positions has issued a warrant for the arrest of fugitive Charupong Ruangsuwan, a former Pheu Thai Party leader, for allegedly demanding a water supply company pay for air tickets costing nearly 60,000 baht while he was interior minister in 2012.
The warrant was issued on Dec 13 last year when the court scheduled the first hearing of a case brought against Mr Charupong by the Office of the Attorney General. Mr Charupong failed to show up for the hearing. He instead appointed a lawyer to fight the case on his behalf, prompting the court warrant.
