NACC defends case against 44 ex-Move Forward MPsThe National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) said yesterday its decision to forward a case against 44 former MPs who supported a proposal to amend the lese majeste law was based on their actions and conduct in pursuing the initiative. The anti-graft body submitted the case files to the Supreme Court on Thursday. Of the 44 former MPs from the now-dissolved Move Forward Party, 10 are serving under the People's Party (PP). The case dates back to 2021, when Pita Limjaroenrat, then leader of the Move Forward Party, led 44 MPs in proposing amendments to Section 112 of the Criminal Code -- the lese majeste law. The petition followed a Constitutional Court ruling on Jan 31, 2024, which said the party's attempt to amend Section 112 amounted to an effort to undermine the constitutional monarchy.
