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 Plenty of corrupt officials but most don't cost the country $8 billion US.

webfact Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Yingluck’s four Thai passports revoked by govt By THE NATION File Photo: Yingluck Shinawatra INTERPOL QUIET ON REQUEST FOR BLUE NOTICE AS DEADLINE FOR APPEAL PASSES THE HUNT for former Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra has hit a snag as Interpol has not yet responded to a Thai police request regarding her whereabouts. Meanwhile, the Foreign Affairs Ministry has revoked her passports. The ministry confirmed yesterday that Yingluck only possessed four Thai passports. The ministry has also advised its embassies across the world that Yingluck’s passports have been revoked. Deputy National Police |Chief Pol-General Srivara Ransibrahmanakul said police were pursuing Yingluck, who was sentenced to five years in prison in connection with her government’s rice-pledging scheme, but they had not yet received confirmation from Interpol after seeking its cooperation. Thai police early this month requested that Interpol issue a blue notice for Yingluck in order to locate her, before applying for a red notice, which would require police in other countries to arrest her. An Interpol blue notice is a request for help to collect information regarding a suspect’s whereabouts or related criminal activities, while a red notice functions as an international arrest warrant. Interpol then contacted Thai police asking for further information in regard to the blue notice request, but no further communication has occurred since. Srivara added that police did not have any information regarding Yingluck’s reported attempt to seek political asylum in the United Kingdom. However, the deputy police chief said the Foreign Affairs Ministry had revoked four of the former prime minister’s passports. Two were ordinary passports, and the others were diplomatic. The Nation contacted Pol Maj-General Udon Yomcharoen, who oversees police foreign affairs, to ask whether Thai police could continue pursuing her if she were granted political asylum, but Udon declined to comment. Yingluck’s deadline for an appeal passed on Friday without any action by her. The prosecutor also refrained from filing an appeal, meaning the case against her is technically finished with her fugitive status apparently permanent. Yingluck, who is reportedly in the United Kingdom, was sentenced for negligence in preventing corruption and irregularities in her government’s rice-pledging scheme before being toppled by the 2014 coup. The Supreme Court’s Criminal Division for Political Office Holders convicted her in absentia and announced her prison sentence on September 27. The law allowed her to appeal within 30 days of the verdict, but she would have had to file the appeal in person from inside Thailand. “We have not yet received a message 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 finalised.” Source: http://www.nationmultimedia.com/detail/politics/30330433 -- © Copyright The Nation 2017-10-31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 I really don't know, but I've never been a PM either. Have you? Is it really all that important whether she had two, four, or eighteen? Maybe the body doubles need them, or they're given away as special souvenirs, or a face-saving gimmick so certain nations don't have to see entry stamps from certain other nations, or one for official visits and one for shopping trips, etc. and whatever. Yeah, I know - a bit inconvenient having four to deal with. But when passports are issued to a PM, by any country, I don't really think they anticipate criminal entanglements & such. Much about all this to roll one's eyes over, but the matter of four passports hardly seems significant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elgenon Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Why does she have 4? I looked around and I only have one. I guess she has more because she was able to leave.

HHTel Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Quote hai police early this month requested that Interpol issue a blue notice for Yingluck in order to locate her, before applying for a red notice, which would require police in other countries to arrest her. An Interpol blue notice is a request for help to collect information regarding a suspect’s whereabouts or related criminal activities, while a red notice functions as an international arrest warrant. That from the 'all knowing' Thai authorities. There's no such thing as an International Arrest Warrant from Interpol. They don't seem to have grasped the function of Interpol. Quote A Red Notice is a request to locate and provisionally arrest an individual pending extradition. It is issued by the General Secretariat at the request of a member country or an international tribunal based on a valid national arrest warrant. It is not an international arrest warrant. INTERPOL cannot compel any member country to arrest an individual who is the subject of a Red Notice. Each member country decides for itself what legal value to give a Red Notice within their borders. Source: Interpol's website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydebolle Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Am I getting this right? - it is now Interpol's fault for not having found her despite a "blue" alert? - when site-searching Interpol's site (site:interpol.int yingluck) there is no reference whatsoever to Yingluck so the whole matter is, best case scenario, pending with them? - she got booted out of office in spring 2014 and had been instructed that traveling out of Thailand would require pre-approval by the government. Yet she sat - known to the authorities - on two ordinary and two diplomatic passports while being investigated? - her driver got sacked over the fact, that he drove her domestically, which was not against any instruction/rule of the legal forces? - the article was not too elaborate on the whole issue but it refers to "Meanwhile, the Foreign Affairs Ministry has been able to seize her passports, found to be four so far". So the number of passports issued is either higher than that or the Ministry has no clue about the number of valid passports in circulation issued in her name? - she is still referred to as "former prime minister"; a title she is sharing with her elder brother, while the rest of the world would call her "fugitive" Just saying ...............

Congratulations Yingluck for reading between the lines of what was about to transpire, while the ones that did commit the fraud, did get nailed. Sometimes its hard to be a hero when you have others more powerful, but your time will come. Edited October 31, 2017 by 4MyEgo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They let in all the criminals and misfits and are then surprised when they continue with thier antisocial and criminal behaviour. I think Sweden has enough refugees without taking in more.

The questions were probably dumbfounding like: how did she get away from a military run state in the first place, and how is she a threat not she is outside of Thailand ? Her biggest future offenses will probably be shopping binges at Harrod's or hitting the bakeries in Paris. Hope she does not get fat eating all that western food. That would be a crime.
