BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) - A panel appointed to investigate corruption linked to deposed Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra has recommended that criminal tax evasion charges be filed against his wife, her secretary and her brother, its chairman said Monday.
Pojaman Shinawatra and her brother Bhanapot Damapong failed to pay the necessary taxes on a 1997 transfer of shares in the family business, according to an investigation by the Assets Examination Committee, panel chairman Nam Yimyaem told reporters.
The committee had said that almost $15 million should have been paid in tax.
