Thanathorn produces traffic tickets to prove he was speeding to Bangkok to transfer his media shares
13 Sept 12:28Key points summarised by AI
Future Forward leader Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit presented three traffic tickets to demonstrate he was speeding back to Bangkok to transfer his V-Luck Media shares on January 8th.
This evidence serves as his defense against an Election Commission (EC) charge that he illegally possessed media shares when registering his election candidacy.
The tickets, issued on January 7th and 8th across Surin, Buri Ram, and Pathum Thani, show his vehicle exceeding speed limits, supporting his claim of urgency.
Thanathorn also provided a route map and two cheque stubs, dated November 8th, 2018, and January 8th, 2019, to further prove the shares were transferred prior to his candidacy registration.
Political activist Srisuwan Janya initiated the complaint, accusing Thanathorn and 11 other Future Forward candidates of similar media share ownership violations during their candidacy registration.
