The Pheu Thai Party plans to grill Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva for allegedly meddling in an effort to help an international tobacco company evade Bt68 billion in import tariffs between 2003 and 2007.
"One of the censure and impeachment charges against Abhisit is his inteference in the legal proceedings in a tax evasion case involving Philip Morris (Thailand) Limited," party deputy spokesman Yuthapong Jarassathian said yesterday.
Yuthapong alleged that Abhisit intervened in the prosecution review, resulting in the dropping of charges against the company.
