Thaksin cops new charges
Thai graftbusters filed new corruption charges against former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra yesterday, accusing him and other top officials of illegal use of funds from a state lottery. The Asset Scrutiny Committee, appointed by the generals who ousted Thaksin in a bloodless 2006 coup, also charged Thaksin, 46 cabinet ministers and other top officials for wrongly approving and operating the lottery from 2003 to 2006.
