Move Forward Party (MFP) leader Pita Limjaroenrat has found himself in an even tighter spot concerning his ownership of media shares while running in a national election, as he recently admitted to holding shares in iTV as executor of his father's estate -- before then transferring them to other relatives in a bid to avoid more legal complications.
Mr Pita admitted last week he transferred the 42,000 shares to his kin to pre-empt any move blocking his rise to power. Earlier, he said he had been holding the shares as executor of his late father's inheritance, not as an heir himself.
