" ...A dispute continued yesterday between the Assets Examination committee and the lawyers working for the Thaksin Shinawatra family.
AEC member Kaewsan Atibodhi yesterday said the panel was empowered by an announcement of the coup-makers to seek punishment for Panthongtae and Pinthongta Shinawatra, children of Thaksin and Pojaman, if they failed to testify before the panel by next Wednesday, as had been ordered by the AEC. . .
Under the NCCC Act, anyone failing to abide by the anti-graft agency's order could face imprisonment of up to six months and a maximum fine of Bt10,000.
The Shinawatra family's legal adviser, Noppadon Pattama, had insisted that Panthongtae and Pinthongta would present their testimonies in writing rather than appearing in person before the AEC.
Panthongtae and Pinthongta were involved in the tax-free sale of Shin Corp shares held by Ample Rich Investments, their company registered in the British Virgin Islands, to Singapore's Temasek Holdings."

In writing, so that Thaksin and his lawyers can write it. I hope the AEC doesn't fall for that nonsense.
