Hunt continues for Yingluck’s assets, more seizures expected
Play
Permanent Secretary Somchai Sujjapongse said on Friday the Finance Ministry was continuing to search for more of ex-prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra’s assets and would seize what it found.
He did not reveal the worth of her assets already frozen.
The ministry last year ordered Yingluck to pay the state Bt35.7 billion, representing 20 per cent of the cost of the controversial rice-subsidy scheme initiated during her tenure.
It issued an administrative order to freeze Yingluck’s assets.
Her request to the Administrative Court to grant an injunction against all assets seizures was denied.
