泰国选委会裁决2024年上议院选举串通案：将77人送交最高法院、含26名现任上议员
泰国选举委员会9月14日就2024年上议院（参议院）选举串通案作出裁决，决定把77人送交最高法院审理，其中包括26名现任上议员；选委会随后以第456/2569号新闻稿公布了这一决定，后续还将对涉案人员提起刑事程序。
被送交法院的77人由三部分组成：26名现任上议员、36名其他有资格参加上议院遴选的人士与15名其他相关人员。案件针对的是遴选过程中的不当介绍候选人，以及以财物、宴请、金钱等好处影响或收买投票等指控。选委会没有在公布时点名这77人的身份，只公布了人数与类别。选委会还有60天敲定调查档案的最终裁决文本，之后再正式向最高法院提交申请；若法院裁定成立，涉案人员可被撤销选举权并承担刑事责任。
与此形成对照的是，涉及政治人物「协助」候选人的两项指控没有被送交法院：选委会决定不对21名与140名被指控者提交申请，其中包括总理阿努廷与自豪泰党重要人物内温。这一区分引发新的政治争议，人民党领袖纳塔蓬指责选委会把一个相互关联的案件拆散处理，该党正考虑就选委会本身采取法律行动。
这起案件的调查规模远大于最初曝光的229人名单：调查共涉及67名申诉人与427名被申诉人，卷宗达75,722页。2024年6月举行的上议院遴选因此在两年多之后仍是泰国政坛的焦点案件。

Thai Election Commission Refers 77 People to the Supreme Court in the 2024 Senate Collusion Case, Including 26 Sitting Senators
Thailand's Election Commission ruled on September 14 in the collusion case surrounding the 2024 Senate selection, deciding to refer 77 people to the Supreme Court, including 26 sitting senators. The commission announced the decision in its news release No. 456/2569, and criminal proceedings against members of the group are to follow.
The 77 comprise 26 serving senators, 36 other people who were eligible to take part in the Senate selection, and 15 other individuals. The referrals concern allegations including improper candidate introductions and the offering or accepting of property, meals, money or other benefits to influence the selection. The commission did not publicly identify the 77 in its announcement, giving only numbers and categories. It has 60 days to finalise the text of its ruling on the investigation files before formally petitioning the Supreme Court; if the court finds against them, those referred face revocation of their electoral rights and criminal liability.
By contrast, the two allegations accusing political figures of assisting candidates were not referred: the commission resolved not to petition the court against the 21 and 140 respondents in those parts of the case, a group that included Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul and the influential Bhumjaithai figure Newin Chidchob. That split decision set off a new political fight. People's Party leader Nattapong Ruangpanyawut accused the commission of breaking an interconnected case into separate pieces, and his party is considering legal action against the commissioners themselves.
The formal investigation was much larger than the widely reported group of 229 people: it involved 67 complainants and 427 respondents, and the file ran to 75,722 pages. More than two years after the June 2024 selection, the case remains a central controversy in Thai politics.
