CONFUSION SURROUNDS the role of state agencies following the suspension of a government attempt to freeze former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra’s assets to compensate for losses stemming from her administration’s rice-pledging scheme. But we don’t know about the changes in her assets as of now,” the NACC source said. Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam said the responsible state agencies were attempting to locate Yingluck’s assets before they could be frozen. When asked if he had been told about suspicious movements of Yingluck’s assets, Wissanu said the agencies involved did not have to report that to him. The NACC is investigating at least 11 cases against Yingluck stemming from her role as prime minister.
