New National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) president Suchart Trakulkasemsuk faces intense scrutiny following a leaked video showing his meeting with the Parliament president.
The controversial video captures Suchart discussing his NACC leadership bid and a corruption complaint against him with Parliament president Wan Noor, raising suspicions of impropriety.
Despite the complaint alleging Suchart's 'unusual wealth' being dismissed, opposition lawmakers are demanding an investigation into the meeting.
The leak is linked to suspended deputy police chief Surachate Hakparn, currently under NACC investigation, suggesting it could benefit him by damaging the NACC's credibility.
