Anupthong Dismisses Claims Linking Him to Senate Bribery Case
Prime Minister Anupthong dismissed allegations linking him to a Senate bribery scandal after a watchdog group named nine Pheu Thai politicians in connection with the graft case, calling the claims unreliable.
Prime Minister Anupthong Chaiyaveerakul laughed off allegations after iLaw released the names of nine Pheu Thai politicians linked to a Senate bribery scandal, saying the information was unreliable and insisting he had no involvement.
At 3:05 p.m. on July 21, 2569, speaking as Pheu Thai party leader at party headquarters, Anupthong responded to iLaw's submission of an opposition petition that named nine party members in connection with the Senate graft case, saying he had not yet seen the news.
When asked whether the list included Pheu Thai politicians, Anupthong questioned the claim, stating that all matters should follow proper investigative procedures to establish the facts. When pressed about whether his name appeared first on the list, Anupthong responded by questioning the source, arguing that such information lacked credibility. He then laughed and declared that he had nothing whatsoever to do with the case.
