The Thai Constitutional Court said Tuesday that it would deliver a verdict Wednesday on the allegation that caretaker Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra had abused power.
Yingluck denied the allegation before the court Tuesday, saying that she did not violate any law or receive any benefit by transferring Thawil Pliensri from the post as secretary-general of the National Security Council (NSC) in 2011.

If the court finds her guilty to the charges, she and her cabinet will be removed from office.
