It's unbelievable how the Thais have been dithering over Mrs. Thaksin's purchase of land from the Thai government when her husband was PM. As far as I can see, there could not be a clearer case of an illegal conflict of interest under Thai law.

They have now spent almost four months kicking this football all over the field and this is the latest.

"The Bank of Thailand's financial-rescue arm FIDF yesterday decided to file a charge against ousted prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra and his wife Khunying Pojaman over a Bt772-million land purchase.

But the Assets Examination Committee (AEC) would be the body to take legal action against Thaksin and Pojaman.The Financial Institutions Development Fund said its decision would allow the AEC to further investigate the case and take legal action.

Phairoj Hengsakul, assistant governor as well as manager of the Fund, said the FIDF would today file a charge against Thaksin and Pojaman with the AEC, which recently set up a panel to investigate the land purchase.

In 2003, Pojaman spent Bt772 million to buy four plots in the Ratchadaphisek Road area. The land was put up for auction by the FIDF. Phairoj said, according to procedure, AEC would submit the case to the state prosecutor to consider whether to file a lawsuit against Thaksin and Pojaman to the Supreme Court's political-case department."
