A Reuters story from yesterday says talk of potential perjury charges against Yingluck Shinawatra “deepens uncertainty” over the July 3 election:
Just days after Yingluck Shinawatra was chosen to lead Thailand’s opposition party in coming elections, she could be headed for a legal standoff over a case at the heart of a coup that toppled her twice-elected brother.
Kaewsun Atibhodhi, a former senator who pursued corruption cases against her brother Thaksin Shinawatra after the 2006 coup, said Yingluck could face perjury charges over testimony she gave during Thaksin’s asset concealment case two years ago.
