Thai court says PM Srettha violated rules on ethics in cabinet appointment

Thailand's Constitutional Court on Wednesday said Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin had violated rules on ethics over his appointment to cabinet of a lawyer who served time in prison.

The judges were reading a verdict in a case seeking Srettha's dismissal. They had yet to announce whether he would remain in office. He denies wrongdoing.
