Less than two weeks after his election as Thailand's new prime minister, Somchai Wongsawat has been put under investigation.

Somchai has been accused of owning stock in an Internet company that provides services for the government.

The Election Commission has taken up the case on the basis of a complaint by the same opposition senator whose complaint began a process that toppled Somchai's predecessor, Samak Sundaravej.

If the Constitutional Court determines that Somchai is guilty, he would have to leave parliament after being stood down as prime minister.
