The Assets Examination Committee would bypass the Office of the AttorneyGeneral and prosecute former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra for graft relating to the now stalled two and threedigit lotteries.
"The joint review on the new lottery case by the AEC and the public prosecutors has failed to reach an agreement and the AEC will litigate with assistance from the Law Society of Thailand," AEC spokesman Sak Korsaengruang said on Friday.
In its initial report to the OAG, the AEC named 49 suspects, including Thaksin and his entire cabinet, for their alleged responsibility in the approval of the lotteries in 2003.
The OAG has declined to prosecute the case, as it opposed the list of suspects, and suggested a revision of certain charges.
Sak said that the AEC would request the OAG send back its report and that it planned next week to issue a statement explaining the differences in legal views between it and the OAG.
