The Criminal Court has accepted a lawsuit filed against five members of the National Counter Corruption Commission by a former city police commander who was sacked in connection with a brawl between protesters at CentralWorld three years ago.
Pol Col Thanayut Wutthicharasthamrong's lawyer filed a malfeasance in office suit against Vicha Mahakul, Tortrakul Yomnak, Pol Maj-Gen Naphan Yensudjai, Kosol Khamsiri and Natthawut Khomprasert, a source said.
They were members of the inquiry panel which looked into the officer's role in an incident at Bangkok's CentralWorld shopping mall on Aug 21,2006.
The panel, chaired by Mr Vicha, found Pol Col Thanayut, formerly Pol Col Ritthirong Thepchanda, had committed criminal and disciplinary breaches by failing to intervene in a brawl between opponents and supporters of then prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra at CentralWorld. The officer was dismissed from the police force.
He later brought his case before the Chiang Mai Administrative Court, which this week ruled that he be reinstated.
In his suit filed with the Criminal Court on Sept 21,the officer accused the five inquiry panel members of committing malfeasance as defined by criminal and anticorruption laws.
Pol Col Thanayut said in the suit that the panel's inquiry did not deliver him justice.The court has scheduled the first hearing for Dec 14.
The NCCC was transformed into the National Anti-Corruption Commission in 2008.
