Suspended Thai PM Submits Formal Defense in Ethics Case
(MENAFN) Suspended Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra has officially submitted her defense to the Constitutional Court, addressing allegations of ethics violations, according to Prime Minister’s Secretary General Prommin Lertsuridej, who spoke on Monday.
Paetongtarn finalized and signed all necessary documents, which her legal team delivered to the court ahead of the submission deadline, Prommin confirmed during a press briefing at Government House.
He also rejected speculation that Paetongtarn might resign before the court delivers its verdict, stating, “We are proceeding according to the law and affirming our righteousness.”
The Constitutional Court had previously set Monday as the final deadline for Paetongtarn to file her defense, after granting her two deadline extensions to allow more time for preparing her explanation.
Paetongtarn was suspended on July 1 after the court accepted a petition filed by a group of senators. The complaint concerns a leaked phone call related to a border issue involving Cambodia, which they claim warrants her removal from office.
