Discrepancies in iTV shareholder meeting records blow Pita shareholding case wide open

13 Sept 14:16 Key points summarised by AI

Official minutes of an iTV shareholder meeting contradict a video recording regarding the company's operational status as a media firm, sparking a major controversy.
This conflict directly impacts Move Forward leader Pita Limjaroenrat's eligibility, as his alleged iTV shareholding could disqualify him under election law if iTV is confirmed as an active media company.
InTouch Holdings, iTV's major shareholder, has launched an investigation, while former officials warn of severe legal consequences, including imprisonment, for anyone found to have fabricated the meeting minutes.
Move Forward Party views the controversy as a political maneuver, asserting readiness to defend against attempts to obstruct their government formation and promising legal action against document manipulation.
