Anutin says he won’t interfere, brushes aside concerns about political falloutPrime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul arrives at Government House on Feb 24. Mr Mauerberger for many years was based in Bangkok, where he cultivated connections with many prominent business and political figures. However, reported links between Klatham chief adviser Thamanat Prompow and Mr Mauerberger are among the factors making Bhumjaithai wary of a deal. Thamanat has denied he had any knowledge about the alleged offences of Mr Mauerberger or his wife, saying they occurred before he knew the former. Mr Rangsiman is fighting a defamation lawsuit filed by Mr Mauerberger, who is seeking 100 million baht in damages.
