Bangkok: The Crime Suppression Division is accelerating efforts to establish a committee following charges filed by the Election Commission against Parit, citizens, and the media. The division will summon representatives from the Election Commission next week to provide statements and assist in determining the course of action.
According to Thai News Agency, Police Colonel Chaiwut Kiattikongkamchai, Deputy Commander of the Crime Suppression Division, stated that after receiving the complaint, discussions are underway to form a specialized investigation team due to the case's complexity and public interest. The team is anticipated to include more than 10 members.
The Election Commission seeks to prosecute six individuals under several legal provisions, including Section 66 of the 2017 Election Commission Act and Sections 116, 209, and 322 of the Criminal Code, along with Section 14 of the Computer Crime Act. The investigators will review the evidence to determine if the cases align with all the alleged offenses.
The investigation team plans to finalize their strategy during a meeting scheduled for March 4-5, 2026. They have also called on Election Commission representatives to testify next week, which will help decide the timeline for questioning the accused and identifying any further evidence needed.
