Thaksin Shinawatra sues Thai Pakdee leader for defamation
Thaksin Shinawatra has initiated a 100 million baht lawsuit against Thai Pakdee Party leader Warong Dechgitvigrom for defamation, in response to allegations of a 2-billion-baht bribe. The lawsuit, filed by Thaksin's lawyer, comes after Warong's comments on social media and during a rally, strongly implying Thaksin's involvement in the alleged bribery scheme. Thaksin refutes claims that the lawsuit is meant to silence Warong, stating that it is a legitimate effort to protect his reputation. The court has scheduled a lawsuit examination date for September 30.
