Bangkok---Former Thai premier Yingluck Shinawatra was formally indicted over a bungled rice subsidy scheme Thursday in a move that could see her jailed for up to a decade.
"Today we have indicted former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra ... for dereliction of duty" in relation to the costly rice scheme, said Chutichai Sakhakorn, director-general of the special litigation department at the Office of the Attorney General.
The Supreme Court will decide whether or not to accept the case on March 19.
