Police target Pannika's 1MDB allegationPannika Wanich voices her allegation about Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha in Thon Buri, Bangkok, on Sunday. Pol Lt Gen Piya, the office spokesman, said Pol Gen Chakthip Chaichinda, the police chief, wants the legal office to examine a recording of Ms Pannika's allegation, made on Sunday during an off-parliament debate against the government, to see if her statement broke any laws. Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwon strongly denied the accusation made by Ms Pannika. Asked whether the Future Forward Movement, the renamed FFP, would be especially under watch, Gen Prawit said the government kept an eye on all parties deemed to be violating the law. Gen Prawit declined to comment when asked it was possible the information used by Ms Pannika came from the Immigration Police Bureau.
