More than 100 political post-holders will face trial in the Supreme Court for alleged asset concealment over the next three months, according to the Isra News Agency.
The agency reported a total of 110 political post-holders, who are mostly executives of provincial and local administrative organisations, are to stand trial in the Supreme Court's Criminal Division for Holders of Political Positions from Tuesday until June 22.
They have been charged by the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) for failing to declare the full extent of their assets and liabilities to the commission.
After being indicted, they will testify in the Supreme Court.
The wealth declaration is mandatory under the law. Political post-holders are legally required to submit records of their assets and debts to the NACC on taking the post and a year after leaving office.
The latest individual to face indictment recommended by the NACC on the asset declaration is Sathinee Daosiriroj, vice-president of the Sakon Nakhon provincial administrative organisation, the Isra News Agency reported.
Last year, the Supreme Court found a total of 169 local administrative organisation leaders, political post-holders and executives of state enterprise agencies guilty for intentionally concealing assets and liabilities which should have been declared to the NACC as a matter of course.
