snoop1130 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Interpol yet to confirm Yingluck whereabouts, ministry seizes four passports By The Nation The authorities’ efforts to go after former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra have hit a stumbling block, as Interpol has not yet confirmed to the Thai police whether it has managed to identify her whereabouts. Meanwhile, the Foreign Affairs Ministry has been able to seize her passports, found to be four so far. Deputy National Police Chief Pol General Srivara Ransibrahmanakul said on Monday that the police had been going after Yingluck, who was sentenced to five years in jail in September for failing to prevent corruption in her government’s rice-pledging scheme, but they had not yet received any confirmation from the international police that they asked for assistance. She fled the country prior to the original scheduled reading of the verdict in the case against her, on August 25. The police early this month requested that Interpol issue a blue notice for Yingluck first in order to locate her, before applying for a red notice, which would require police in other countries to arrest her. Interpol’s blue notice is used for requesting help to collect information regarding a criminal’s whereabouts or related crime activities, while the red notice is an international arrest warrant. While the France-based agency did get back to the Thai police for further information in regard to the blue-notice request, they have not heard any further from them. Srivara said the police had no information regarding her reported attempt to attain asylum status in the United Kingdom either. The deputy police chief said the Foreign Affairs Ministry had, however, managed to revoke four passports in the ex-PM’s name: two general passports, and two diplomat passports. In regard to her missing the deadline to appeal the Supreme Court ruling against her, he stressed that it was “her business”. The Nation on Monday contacted Pol Maj-General Udon Yomcharoen, who oversees the police's foreign affairs, to check whether the Thai police could continue going after her if she was granted political asylum. However, he declined to comment, saying only that the national police commissioner and his deputy could provide such an explanation. Yingluck’s deadline for the appeal passed on Friday, without her filing such a request to the court. The prosecutor did not do so either, resulting in the case effectively being completed, and with Yingluck, under the new law governing legal procedures against politicians, facing the prospect of remaining a fugitive from Thai justice for the rest of her life. The Supreme Court’s Criminal Division for Political Office Holders convicted the former premier in absentia and announced her prison sentence on September 27. The law allows her to appeal within 30 days of the date of the verdict’s delivery, but – under new legal provisions – she would have to launch the appeal in person from inside Thailand. “We have not yet received any contact from her, therefore we did not make any request to the court to extend the period of appeal,” her lawyer Norawit Lalang said on Sunday. “As we did not make an appeal, the case is technically final.” Norawit said he had received no contact from his client since she fled the country a few days before the court had originally been due to deliver its verdict.

Krataiboy Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Yet again, more questions than answers. If four of her passports have been revoked, on what passport is she travelling? If it was acquired from another country then that is the only destination one she could possibly have entered without her arrival details being recorded on a computer. This should make tracing relatively simple. Why hasn't a blue notice been issued - and why are the Thai authorities, after a month of shilly-shallying, not insisting that this is done forthwith, to increase the chances of the fugitive former PM being apprehended - if and when a red notice is actually issued. The whole sorry saga, including putting all the blame for Yingluck's vanishing trick on a lone "rogue" cop, reeks of collusion and bid to sweep The Yingluck Affair under the carpet away from further public scrutiny. Eventually, the truth will out - probably in a year or two when Yingluck publishes a "tell all" book to help her recoup some of the 30 billion baht bail money and other assets she sacrificed by doing a runner.

The question of whether to pursue someone who has political asylum or not doesn’t seem that hard to answer. If the reason was that they didn’t want to say at this point, then fine. However the explanation that was trotted out was nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangrak Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 How many passports does she have (the 'alias' ones included, like Thaksins'?)? 10? 15? ...From Thailand only! Is she maybe of forgetfull nature, that she wants one in every peng mak 'Hermès' bag of her vast collection? LOL! What a country this one, where 'certain persons' are able to get as many passports here as James Bond in a movie? The question being: why would anyone need any more than one passport, with honest intentions I mean...? A personal one and, eventually, a diplomatic one, ...for diplomates, some ministers and top-officials, only while they are in function(!!!), but for 99.98% of the population, why, hmm? Really the 'Wild East' here, making the 'Wild West' pale, look like a kindergarten story! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SABloke Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Could someone explain the logistics of having four passports to me, please? I could imagine a person being able to get 2 (Diplomatic and normal/personal), but how do you get four? Or does the article mean that the Foreign Ministry found four of her foreign passports and have seized them? Which would mean she's travelling on another passport so seizing 4 would result in no inconvenience for her, whatsoever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Next stop NK Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Now I finally understand why the RTP used almost one month to check the (first) escape car (while doing nothing about real problems in thailand like flooding etc). Maybe they needed one month to check if she was still in the car? RTP must me the biggest joke on the planet, but a sad joke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason for this is a lack of information from the Thai Police supplied to Interpol to issue the blue notice. Let's stop the obvious lies, misdirection and obfuscation right there.

Its a joke and a farce. Selective justice to rid oneself of political foes. Im not saying she is innocent but there would be scores of others that fit the same criteria and yet they roam free with impunity in a country where laws protect these shysters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
