Government MP Pareena committed a gross violation of political ethics - NACC

13 Sept 14:47 Key points summarised by AI

The National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) found MP Pareena Kraikupt grossly violated political ethics by illegally occupying and exploiting national forest land.
Pareena and her father allegedly encroached upon nearly 114 hectares across four plots in Ratchaburi since 2003, using the land for livestock without proper authorization.
Despite being elected an MP, Pareena continued to occupy and operate businesses on the land, failing to uphold her ethical duties as a public official.
This case is the first under new ethical standards for political office holders; if accepted by the Supreme Court, Pareena faces immediate suspension from her parliamentary duties.
