An ABC how the Thaksin family run the beautiful Kingdom of Thailand as was it their very own company (sorry country): "Thaworn contends that Chulasingh had no justification for failing to seek a final judicial review on an appellate decision on the 1997 share scandal involving Khunying Pojaman na Pombejra, the ex-wife of former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra. Prosecutors indicted Pojaman for fabricating a share transfer to her brother Bhanapot Damapong in order to evade paying Bt273 million in tax. The lower court handed down a guilty verdict but an appellate review in 2011 overturned the decision on grounds of lacking intent. The appeal court acquitted Pojaman and her secretary Kanchanapa Honghern. However, it gave a suspended one-year jail term to Bhanapot. Thaworn said gathering evidence against Chulasingh was difficult and time-consuming. "I can only file the charge on the last day before Chulasingh retires," he said, explaining why he did not aim for impeachment. He said he suspected foul play because Chulasingh ignored an NACC instruction to fight the case in the Supreme Court. Chulasingh also failed to heed a dissenting opinion by the chief justice of the Appeals Court for suspending the jail term, he said."
