00:00Bling, bling, bling.
00:01Back in 2017, people noticed former Deputy Prime Minister Berwit Wong-su-Wan
00:06wearing luxury watches worth millions of baht that didn't appear on his asset declaration.
00:12His explanation? They were borrowed from a friend.
00:15The anti-corruption agency investigated and cleared him.
00:19But that's not why the story is making headlines today.
00:22Years later, courts ordered the National Anti-Corruption Commission
00:25to release documents from that investigation.
00:28According to the court, two senior NACC officials repeatedly failed to do so
00:34and now have been sentenced to prison.
00:37So the biggest scandal isn't actually the watches themselves,
00:41but the fact that Thailand's anti-corruption watchdog
00:43was found guilty of withholding information from the public.
00:47And if the agency responsible for keeping everyone else accountable
00:51can be accused of hiding documents, what's supposed to keep them accountable?
00:55Tune into The Signal across the nation's official accounts
00:58as we dive deep into this investigation.
