The former commissioner-general of the Royal Thai Police, Pol General Somyot Poompanmoung, and former deputy attorney-general Nate Naksuk as well as six others will be indicted in the Central Criminal Court for Corruption and Misconduct Cases on August 29, the Office of the Attorney-General said.

In a letter to the National Anti-Corruption Commission, the prosecutors have informed the NACC to bring the eight suspects before the court on August 29.

The action against the eight stems from their controversial decision not to prosecute Vorayuth “Boss” Yoovidhya, who was allegedly involved in a fatal car accident that killed a police officer in 2012.

The NACC report on February 27 had found grounds to charge them. 

The case relates to a decision not to prosecute Vorayuth for his alleged involvement in the death of Pol Sen Sgt-Major Wichian Klanprasert in 2012, where evidence regarding the vehicle's speed was allegedly tampered with.
