I can beat Preah Vihear charges : Noppadon

Noppadon Pattama (picture) was optimistic yesterday he would be cleared of criminal and impeachment charges relating to the wrongful signing of the Cambodian-Thai joint communique on Preah Vihear temple last year.
"So many past indictments by the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) have been dismissed by the courts," he said.
The NACC ruled on Tuesday to prosecute him and former prime minister Samak Sundaravej on suspicion of a lapse of duty, under Article 157 of the Criminal Code. They were accused of pushing through the controversial joint communique which was subsequently rejected and voided by the Constitution Court as well as the Central Administrative Court.
