A source at the NHRC said yesterday the agency sent a letter to the hospital's chief medical officer seeking more details about the treatment given to Mr Vonnarat, a defendant in a high-profile fraud and corporate misconduct case.

The accounting and embezzlement scandal at Stark was one of the country’s largest corporate fraud cases in 2023, causing an estimated 14.7 billion baht in damages and affecting at least 4,000 investors.
