THAI told to pursue civil law action

The anti-graft body has advised THAI to pursue civil lawsuits for damage caused by those involved in the Rolls-Royce bribery scandal. National Anti-Corruption Commission secretary-general Sansern Poljeak said Friday said the 20-year statute of limitations for bribery cases that took place during the first 2 periods involving the scandal has now expired. However, the statute of limitations for cases in the third period between 2004-2005 still stands, and THAI can still pursue civil action against those involved during this period, Sansern said. He added that the carrier can also petition the Anti-Money Laundering Office (Amlo) to examine the money trails of those involved and freeze their assets. THAI initiated an investigation into the bribery allegations after they were made public and the findings are due to be announced Feb 20. <br/>
