A soldier checks a rice stockpile in a warehouse in Ban Phraek district of Ayutthaya on June 3, 2014. Dr Weerawut was also a defendant in the case. Dr Weerawut and the other five associates failed to explain. The NACC issued the ruling against Dr Weerawut in November 2017 and asked the OAG to seek the confiscation of the assets. It was reported that the G2G rice case against Dr Weerawut was revived following the enforcement of a new law on criminal procedures for political office-holders that took effect in 2017.
