Ex-graftbuster Vicha Mahakhun, second left, chairs a panel meeting to look into the Red Bull scion case at Government House on Monday. "I've asked them to study if I can order a re-investigation into the case," he said when asked about a suggestion that he should invoke his power to revive the case. Prompted by public doubts over the handling of the case by police and prosecutors, Gen Prayut last week set up a nine-member panel headed by former graftbuster Vicha Mahakhun to look into the facts and legal aspects of the case. Justice permanent secretary Wisit Wisitsora has been appointed to head another panel tasked with examining witnesses and individuals in the case who are not police and prosecutors. He said it also depended on whether the Wisit panel recommended that Mr Vorayuth be summonsed for questioning.
