Thai authorities need to probe more before indicting ex-PM Thaksin over royal insults
BANGKOK: More investigation is required into a royal insults complaint made against newly-released former premier Thaksin Shinawatra before deciding whether to indict him, the attorney-general's office said on Monday (Feb 19).

Thaksin, who was released on parole on Sunday, met officials on Monday and was seen arriving in a wheelchair.

The office's spokesperson Prayut Petchkun said Thaksin would be required to report back on April 10. The issue concerns an interview he gave in 2015. Thaksin has always pledged loyalty to the monarchy. - Reuters
