They include Deputy Commerce Minister Napintorn Srisanpang.

They all denied any wrongdoing yesterday, saying they are ready to defend themselves against the allegations if the EC does summon them, as reported by the media.

Napintorn: 'Ready' to comply

Mr Napintorn said he was not worried, adding he was ready to comply with all legal procedures while insisting on his innocence.

He said he has not yet received an official letter from the EC and had only heard about the summons via news reports.
