BANGKOK--Thai authorities charged outgoing Bangkok governor Sukhumbhand Paribatra Wednesday with extending the multibillion-dollar contract to run the city's elevated train network without government permission.

Sukhumbhand failed to consult the Interior Ministry before renewing the contract of Skytrain operator BTSC last year, the Department of Special Investigation said.

The DSI's Thawal Mangkang told reporters at its Bangkok headquarters that the contract extension to 2042 — which was made 17 years before the deal was up for renewal — was worth US$6.6 billion.
