Court issues arrest warrant for ex-DSI chief

Former DSI chief Tarit Pengdith has won six postponements of an appearance to hear the ruling in the malfeasance case against him, but the Supreme Court has run out of patience and denied his seventh request.

The Supreme Court on Thursday issued an arrest warrant for Tarit Pengdith, the former head of the Department of Special Investigation (DSI), believing he intended to tactically delay court proceedings in a malfeasance case brought against him and three other parties.

The case has been lodged against the four by former prime minister Abhisit Vejjajiva and former deputy prime minister Suthep Thaugsuban. The latter oversaw the now-defunct Centre for Resolution of Emergency Situation during anti-government protests in 2010 that led to political mayhem and violence.
