Mr. Winyat said that the fact that the seller was able to get the ownership of the land by transferring the share back to the shareholders on different days.

I would like to note that Mr. Chuvit Meejit incomplete provide facts in a manner that causes misunderstanding and has a hidden agenda to persecute the plaintiff or not Accusing Mr. Settha to the people and members of parliament believe Mr. Srettha committed an illegal act. and contrary to good governance for political hope and is not beneficial to the country and the people as Mr. Chuwit said In which the plaintiff filed a lawsuit and demanded damages from Mr. Chuwit for his infringement against the aforementioned plaintiff in the amount of five hundred million baht. With interest at the rate of 5 percent per annum of the said amount from the date of filing until the defendant is fully paid to the plaintiff.

Mr. Winyat said he knew that Mr. Chuvit was sick. He therefore encouraged him as a human friend. But the need to sue is not to bully the sick person. different story because of Chuvit's actions constitutes an unlawful act shall not exercise the right to infringe on others We all have equal rights. If the right is violated Khun Srettha had to protect her own rights, otherwise ordinary people and parliamentarians or intelligent people would misunderstand Khun Srettha. and continue to say or do slanderous acts Although Khun Chuvit said that he was ill and was close to death, he didn't have a long time, but it was not true that what he said was true. The law is intentional misrepresentation. when he filed a lawsuit with the Criminal Court I want all parties to understand that the case is in the justice process. It should not be used to expand the issue or make another statement. Because it is necessary to prosecute according to the rights In summary, Khun Settha is a candidate for the Prime Minister. may be inspected But the people who receive information must be careful that in that information and must surround Not in a hurry to make a decision to believe This story is about taxes and is an implementation of the tax collection measures of the Revenue Department, not about tax evasion or causing damage to the state.-Thai News Agency
