Fresh warrants were issued Wednesday for the arrest of four people who failed to show up to hear the final ruling in a trial connected to the high-profile Klong Dan wastewater treatment case. One of the warrants was for fugitive politician Vatana Asavahame. As for the four who failed to show up Wednesday, the court believed they had fled and issued the warrants. In 2013 the Appeal Court acquitted all 18, ruling there was no evidence the land was deliberately acquired for the project. Vatana fled before the ruling was handed down and a warrant was issued for his arrest.
