The National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) is filing a lawsuit against 44 former Move Forward Party MPs for alleged gross ethical violations, stemming from their advocacy to amend the lèse majesté law.
The NACC's lawsuit requests the Supreme Court to suspend 10 currently serving People’s Party MPs, who were among the 44, from their parliamentary duties, though party-list MPs have automatic replacements.
