The court also set January 23 as the opening date for her trial on charges of using her husband's political influence to buy prime Bangkok real estate from a government agency at one-third its estimated value.
"She came here today to prove her innocence," her lawyer Noppadon Pattama told reporters.
At 11.45am, Pojaman left the court house and she is scheduled to surrender to an arrest warrant on illegal stock dealing at the Department of Special Investigation at 2.30pm.
Upon leaving the court house, she was greeting by dozens of cheering supporters.
