Yingluck likely fled via Aranyaprathet border: Deputy PM

Deputy Prime Minister General Prawit Wongsuwan on Friday said he believed that former PM Yingluck Shinawatra had fled the country via the Aranyaprathet border in Sa Kaew province.
 

Prawit’s hunch is based on the latest interceptions of communication between people suspected of helping Yingluck flee. The suspects are believed to have received “the order” to take Yingluck out of the country, he said.

 

Whether the order would link to a former chief of the Metropolitan Police Bureau, as has been speculated, needs further investigation, Prawitt said.

 

It remains unclear exactly which border checkpoint she slipped through, he said.

I thought we had "got over "this

[rkidlad]

well, if this is true, welcome to the world of zero checks and balances. Where you can do as you please if you have power, but hate it when other people do the same. In a culture of corruption, power only has so much power. Money is the real power. 

[Cadbury]

Inspector Prawit Clouseau seems in total confusion and trying desperately to make up excuses. The buck for her escape stops with him and the heat seems to be coming on. 

In one breath he says" Yingluck had fled the country via Aranyaprathet border". But he wraps up his commentary by saying...."It remains unclear exactly which border checkpoint she slipped through."

In other words he hasn't got a clue. Hardly surprising given the quality of the senior military leadership.

but they dropped her off

how can they not know!

[wakeupplease]

And there was I thinking a frog turned her into 3 number plates after the results of the DNA test, silly me.

 

But probably more feasible than some of the crap I have read of late, next she will have left by Checkpoint Charlie or Alien abduction.

 

Enjoy your day YL and don't wet yourself laughing.

Yep, How do they do it?

 

Easy pay a Thai person and there you go!

[CantSpell]

He has a hunch, he believes, needs to do further investigation as it remains unclear exactly... 

 

But he knows for sure: the Aranyaprathet border is in Sa Kaew province and it starts with the letter A (where is Chalerm when you need him), or not, need to investigate...

Yingluck ‘escaped through casinos’: Prawit

 

 

Runaway ex-premier Yingluck Shinawatra is believed to have been secretly driven by car to the border province of Sa Kaew before sneaking out of the country through casinos, Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwan said Friday.

 

Yingluck’s flight came a day or two before the Supreme Court for Political Office Holders delivered its verdict on the ricepledging scheme that cost country billions of baht.

 

Prawit was speaking after police arrested three police officers and detained a car suspected of being involved in helping Yingluck flee the Kingdom.

 

“Deputy national police commissioner Pol General Srivara Ransibhramanakul, who talked to the three police officers, said one of them, had confessed that Yingluck fled with a secretary to Sa Kaew’s Aranyaprathet district,” Prawit said.

 

The car that was used in the BangkokSa Kaew trip was now in police custody, Prawit said, adding after leaving Sa Kaew, they were picked up by another car that had still not yet been found.

 

They arrived in Aranyaprathet late at night, he added, when all the border checkpoints were closed.

 

Prawit conceded there were several ways Yingluck could have used to leave the country but added: “She is suspected of sneaking out of through one of the casinos along the border.”

brilliant,  they *DETAINED* a car, ha ha poor car, i bet it is quaking in its boot.

[Thian]

Will we ever know which high policeman ordered to bring her out of Thailand?? And will he go to jail for 10 years like mr Prayuth said this week?

[BigBadGeordie]

She had a big bet on Red and left with all the winnings.

[Enoon]

 

 

'Prawit conceded there were several ways Yingluck could have used to leave the country but added: “She is suspected of sneaking out of through one of the casinos along the border.” 

 

Because the casinos are actually constructed astride the border, with a door in one of the interior walls leading to Cambodia.

 

The door is usually locked, but on this occasion someone must have been bribed or coerced into leaving it unlocked.

 

Nothing gets past me

 

(err.......except Yingluck of course.)

Prawit looks sick - every new photo he's in he looks way thinner. He used look like Jabba the Hutt. 

 

He might have to step down soon 

[surangw]

A dark colored Mercedes with fuzzy dice hanging from the rear-view mirror was spotted at the border crossing.

Yawn, why are they still on about this?

 

Has Yingluck popped up anywhere outside of the country yet? is this all 'smoke and mirrors?

[jacko45k]

Did she have a spin at the tables or a pull on a one-armed bandit on the way through with the last of her Thai baht?

[elgenon]

So he thinks this is better than affecting her human rights by keeping her under surveillance? Someone  is severely missing a great many synapses.

 

God help the army if this is how effective they are.

Nope but she but she wai-ed to Thailand while going through the door and mumbled..."thank you for the billions, i will make sure my policefriends will get a part of it and we always have a free room for you in Dubai."

"she would have had to pay alot to get thru.casino,s"

 

... and your point is?  We're talking about a Shinawatra here, not some Beach Road cheap Charlie.   Any "tea money" required wouldn't even have amounted to pocket-change for her lowest-ranking accompanying flunky I'm sure. 

 

[Khun Paul]

She has gone, get over it. get a life and look after the nation. As for the car did it beep in nacceptance when told it would be detained.

That man is delusional...........

[alexlm]

If she left Thailand without getting a Thai exit stamp. How can she be legal with a valid stamp from another country now? I thought you needed to exit Thailand before you could get a Cambodian or Laos stamp for example?
