People’s party seeking corruption watchdog probe of the prime minister

13 Sept 12:13 Key points summarised by AI

The opposition People's Party urges the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) to investigate Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra.
The probe targets alleged tax evasion concerning 4-billion-baht share transactions via promissory notes, suspected of avoiding capital gains tax.
Accusations extend to illegal land occupation, claiming the PM's family hotel is built on protected watershed land.
The party also highlights alleged double standards regarding former PM Thaksin's extended hospital stay, questioning the legitimacy of his illness.
The opposition seeks the Prime Minister's voluntary resignation if the NACC finds her at fault, rejecting judicial removal via "unjust legal mechanisms."
