According to The Nation media outlet, the tax records of 38 ministers of government of Abhisit Vejjajiva (2008-2011) and Yingluck Shinawatra (2011-2014), 19 politicians from each, are under scrutiny.
"The Office of the Auditor-General is not going after any person in particular, as has been alleged. We are scrutinising everyone," Auditor-General Pisit Leelavachiropas was quoted as saying by the media outlet.
According to Pisit, only four of the ex-Cabinet members reported assets of some $291,000, while others reported assets from some $670,000 to over $84 million.
