webfact Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Police urge Interpol to issue ‘blue notice’ in Yingluck hunt By THE NATION THAI POLICE have asked Interpol to issue a “blue notice” in their search for fugitive ex-PM Yingluck Shinawatra. They have asked the international policing body to issue the notice in 192 countries. Deputy national police spokesman Pol Colonel Krissana Pattanacharoen said Thai police expect Interpol to take the next “more serious” step in their investigation. Interpol notices are alerts, or requests for cooperation, sent to police in member countries. The blue notice would notify countries to “collect additional information about a person’s identity, location or activities”. The “blue notice” is one step behind the most serious “red notice” where member countries are asked to “seek … and arrest the wanted person”. Thai police have also contacted authorities in the United Kingdom, where some sources have said Yingluck is seeking political asylum. They have yet to hear back from UK authorities, Krissana said. The UK is believed to be Yingluck’s final destination after she initially fled to Dubai. The Thai Consulate General in Dubai refused to comment on Yingluck’s case when contacted by The Nation. Yingluck fled on August 23, two days before she was due at the Supreme Court to hear the final ruling in her trial for malfeasance related to her government’s controversial rice-pledging scheme. It is believed she rode in two sedans from her Bangkok residence to Sa Kaew’s Aranyaprathet district which borders Cambodia. Three policemen were found to be involved in Yingluck’s escape, including Pol Colonel Chairit Anurit, who has confessed to driving the former PM and her secretary on that day. Chairit yesterday submitted additional documents to police on the use of the Toyota Camry sedan, which was not registered in the Department of Land Transport’s system. Chairit’s documents, together with DNA samples taken from the Camry and those found on Yingluck’s belongings, will be crucial evidence in the case, said deputy Metropolitan police commissioner Pol Maj-General Panurat Lakboon yesterday. The DNA result should be available in a day or two, said Panurat, who also leads a fact-finding committee into Chairit’s involvement in the case. If Chairit is found guilty of committing a criminal offence, the case would proceed to the National Anti-Corruption Commission. If he is found to have committed a lesser disciplinary offence, the case would be forwarded to the Metropolitan Division 5, where Chairit had served as a deputy commissioner.

ezzra Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Not even a pink or a purple notice will be useful here, as she's well guarded and safe protected by her brother and his multi billions to make sure that no one can touch her... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see either an Inactive Post position or an early retirement comming up I suspect ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Interpol has more important things to do than participate in a Thai dog and pony show. The RTP's expectations are laughable. In the scheme of things, the search for Yingluck rates one intern at Interpol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenterry Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 More importantly, what about the red notice issued by Interpol for the arrest of the Red Bull kid? I hope the Department of Corrections at Nonthaburi will seek to have him extradited back to Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connda Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 A Blue Notice (BN) is complete BS. Its a waste of time and simply the Thai authorities playing CYA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpol will process the request and if all is in order will pass the blue notice on to member countries. That's all they do. They don't search for people or have lots of police agents all over the place. And they don't arrest people. That's Hollywood only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lvr181 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Not defending YL but where was the "urgency" in getting the Red Bull heir back to the country? Double standards reign supreme. And resposibility starts and ends at the top! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baerboxer Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Just now, hansnl said: Why you think Europol was found? "As the EU’s law enforcement agency, Europol has a mission to support its Member States in preventing and combatting all forms of serious international organised crime and terrorism. Europol’s vision is to contribute to a safer Europe by providing a unique and evolving set of operational products and services to support law-enforcement authorities in all Member States." To be kind you could say it's a way to increase effective co-operation between law enforcement and security agencies and harmonize operating standards in the adoption of best practices throughout the EU. (I can say from previous personal experiences that the standards were widely variable a few years ago!). Or you could say it's the embryonic EU police force, answerable to Brussels and to be placed alongside the EU Armed Forces, at the federal EU level. Depends whose politics you believe.

Jonmarleesco Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 It's not even been five weeks. Amazing how the efficiency gene can kick into overdrive when needs must. As for the DNA, little to be relied upon if it's the same bunch testing it who were responsible for the Koh Tao farce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HHTel Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I would argue that it contradicts article 3 of the Interpol Constitution. However if accepted by Interpol, they can only share information. It doesn't matter what colour the notice, they have no teeth. Up to each member country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
