The Supreme Court’s Criminal Division for Holders of Political Offices acquitted former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra and five other co-defendants today, from charges of abuse of authority over the bidding for the “Thailand 2022 Roadshow” project, worth 240 million baht.

The court also revoked the arrest warrant issued against Yingluck.

The Supreme Court voted unanimously to acquit the six defendants on the grounds that there is no evidence to prove that the successful bidder of the project was afforded any special treatment.

The charges were filed against Yingluck and her co-defendants by the National Anti-Corruption Commission. The co-defendants were former Deputy Prime Minister Niwatthamrong Boonsongpaisan, former PM’s Secretary-General Suranand Vejjajiva, Matichon Public Company, Siam Sports Syndicate Public Company and its executive, Ravi Lohthong.

Surprise! Presumably part of the deal with Thaksin?
