The army and police have come under heavy criticism over their failure to apprehend the soldier who claimed to have obtained the personal data of 55 million Thais, despite a court warrant for the suspect's arrest.
The delay was slammed by the Move Forward Party (MFP), which questioned why the suspect was still not in police custody after a court-approved warrant for his arrest on April 3. Police have also summoned his wife for questioning.
MFP spokesman Rangsiman Rome alluded to a cover-up on Monday, saying influential figures might be behind the hacking, which would explain the delay in apprehending the suspect.
