Thai PM Faces Legal Tests After Averting Coalition Collapse

Thailand’s anti-graft agency will probe Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra’s controversial phone call with ex-Cambodian leader Hun Sen, according to local media reports, as her rivals seek legal recourse to force her ouster.

The National Anti-Corruption Commission’s decision Monday to launch a preliminary investigation against the embattled leader came in response to a petition by Senate Speaker Mongkol Surasajja, Bangkok Post reported, without saying where it got the information.
