Pita admits transferring 42,000 iTV shares to other family heirs

20 Sept 13:24 Key points summarised by AI

Move Forward party leader Pita Limjaroenrat transferred 42,000 iTV shares, inherited from his late father, to other family heirs to preempt political attacks on his eligibility.
Pita asserts the shares hold no economic value, as iTV was delisted in 2014 and ceased operating as a media company in 2007.
He noted a suspicious change in iTV's 2022 balance sheet, where its core business was listed as TV and media advertising despite its inactive status.
Pita declared his readiness to defend himself before the Election Commission regarding the iTV share controversy without diverting from his duties.
