Pol Capt Piya currently chairs an EC subcommittee ruling on disputes related to the collusion case in which dozens of sitting senators are implicated. The petitioners point to photographs showing Pol Capt Piya greeting Mr Anutin at an airport in Buri Ram on March 1, when the premier travelled to officiate at the season-opening MotoGP event. The panel led by Pol Capt Piya is responsible for determining whether to proceed with charges recommended by a separate investigative subcommittee. The latter previously proposed indicting more than 200 individuals, including Mr Anutin, in the collusion case. Mr Akkarawat said Pol Capt Piya’s conduct could undermine public confidence in the panel’s impartiality.
