rooster59 Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Thanathorn may be in trouble over alleged share-holding in media firm Future Forward party leader Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit may be in hot water over his alleged share-holding in a media organization which, if true, would be in violation of the Constitution. According to Isra news agency, Thanathorn and his wife Raweepan, had owned a total of 900,000 shares, worth about nine million baht, in V-Luck Media Company. The shares were acquired on April 30th, 2018. However, all of their shares in the media firm were reportedly transferred to Thanathorn’s mother this week, just days before Sunday’s election.

holy cow cm Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Must be nice to have personal immunity to everything. And wouldn't it be funny to watch it be unfolded as an unspoken wild card that no one knew how far it reached as having political candidate(s) can't do no wrong immunity for the entire group. The Junta and elite's political circus is just plainly disgusting. Leave the guy alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannork Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Let us not forget the fake news regarding Thaksin and Thanathon on Nation TV last week by Kanok Ratawongsakul the presenter, clearly trying to discredit Thanathon. Now which media group supplies news to Thai Visa? Why, yes, it's Nation Multimedia Group. What a coincidence! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can't use the bogeyman Thaksin to this clean pair of hands. Well they did but with that pathetic fake. Plus he is brave he is rich and he knows the risks he is taking but cares about Thailand, democracy and the future of this potentially great country. If this election is rigged or even worse has a post-election coup then the students may just come out on the streets leading the protests this time. They have had enough of this BS and the old levers may not work anymore. Then all bets are off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember a previous politician transferring mega bucks to the family driver, the housekeeper and the gardener apparently all unbeknown to themselves, so unlikely it wasn't being attended to in this case.

bangrak Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Could anyone, please, let me know which month is written in Thai on the shares' transfer document between 8 (the day) and 2562 (the year) (sorry, I don't read Thai)? Could anyone, please, let me know what that constitutional law stipulates about the length of time before the election, or the candidacy, or the ...(?), by which he, like all others(!), would not have been allowed to hold participation(s) in media business(es)? Thank you! When I would have a clear answer on both my questions, I think it would be easy to know for sure whether he is at risk, indeed, ...or not at all, when considering the shares' transfer document to be genuine.
