STORYLINE:
Thailand’s former Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra arrived at a court in Bangkok on Thursday to give testimony after she was suspended from her role.
The Constitutional Court’s suspension of Shinawatra has raised questions about whether her family’s political comeback last year would end with another downfall.
Paetongtarn was the third prime minister in her family, after her father, Thaksin Shinawatra, a telecom billionaire who has been one of Thailand’s top political operators, and her aunt, Yingluck Shinawatra, who was the country’s first female prime minister.
Thaksin was ousted by a military coup in 2006 and Yingluck by a court ruling in 2014.
Paetongtarn was suspended last month by the court pending an ethics investigation into a leaked phone call with senior Cambodian leader Hun Sen that was perceived as damaging to Thailand’s interests and image.
