Still no news from Interpol members on Yingluck’s location

 

 

The more than 190 members of Interpol seemingly still have no information to offer in regard to the whereabouts of former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra, who fled Thailand more than two months ago.

 

Pol Colonel Krisana Patanacharoen, deputy spokesman of the Royal Thai Police, said on Tuesday that none of the 192 member countries had informed the Bangkok Interpol office of any clues as to the location of the fugitive politician. 

 

However, Thai police are gathering more evidence to send to Interpol in order to get a blue notice issued on her, he said, adding that they are continually coordinating with the international crime agency. The blue notice is used for requesting help to collect information regarding a criminal’s whereabouts or related crime activities. 

 

“If she is located in any country, the Interpol member would notify Thai authorities immediately,” he stressed. It has been more than a month since the Bangkok Interpol office sent the request for a blue notice to the France-based agency.

 

Thai police requested Interpol’s assistance in late September after Yingluck was sentenced in absentia to five years in jail following her trial for negligence of duty in regard to her administration’s rice-pledging scheme. 

 

The latest news of her whereabouts was disclosed by Thai authorities early last month, when they said that Yingluck had left Dubai for London. 

 

Late last month, all four Thai passports held by Yingluck were revoked by the Foreign Ministry, as a result of which the former premier will no longer be able to travel from one country to another using those documents. Rumours have been circulating that Yingluck plans to seek political asylum in the United Kingdom. 

 

Last week, the UK authorities informed Thailand that if she came to stay in the country, she would need to follow the normal immigration process, but there would not be an issue of political asylum. 

 

Yingluck fled Thailand on August 23 and has been wanted since August 25, when she failed to show up to hear the final ruling in the negligence case against her. She was sentenced in her absence a month later to five years in jail. Yingluck has neither been heard from nor seen since she fled the Kingdom.

Does that mean she is NOT in any country?

Perhaps she's on the moon, then...

 

But here's another scenario:

 

Local Interpol investigator: "Sir, we have an urgent request from the Thai government to immediately inform them on the whereabouts of their former prime minister, who absconded."

 

Supervising Interpol inspector: "Priorities. Priorities. Here... here's a long, long list of real criminals. Terrorists, mass murderers, internationally active pedophiles and what not. Care about handling those first?"

 

Local Interpol investigator (crumbling up Thai request and throwing it in the paper bin): "Yes, of course. Sir. I thought so too, Sir." 

[Aj Mick]

So...... Still no information from the Thai police that would justify their request for putting Yingluck on an Interpol blue notice. Hardly surprising given that her conviction in Thailand is for something that would not rate as a crime elsewhere.

Or yeah, whatever.  We haven't seen her, sorry. 

[Tilacme]

Why oh why are Interpol not responding to a dictators trumped up, vindictive personal persecution of a political opponent, its just not Takraw.

[wvavin]

There is only one country in this world that is not feeling ashamed of their doing.

I wish her the best. Thai democracy needs more like her.

Thats a coincidence or it might be true as over the last few nights I noticed the moon had a great big smile and looked happy? So the PM might like to send a team there to investigate?

 

France > Interpol

 

The French are not stupid as they have seen all the bullS>>> before have they not? Going back over donkeys years to the days of Pridi Banomyong who fled there to avoid the bull way back when.

 

Keep pushing out the lies guys it makes you look exactly what you are.

[ExpatOilWorker]

I feel it a bit odd she haven't been spotted yet, even by a maid or some hotel staff.

It's hilarious really, these clowns take over the country illegally then expect cooperation internationally. OiT!

Which confirms the fact that no 'blue notice' has been issued.  So what do they expect from Interpol?

It's laughable.  The Thai authorities don't have a clue regarding the role of Interpol.

 

[Teacherduck]

How about getting the real crooks like "the boss" instead of this ridiculous political witch hunt.

If she had as much political corruption as the current "jobs for the boys" military government God help Thailand. Its a shame they can't convict themselves of corruption but they wouldn't understand.

[connda]

More than likely because that are in on the joke!

Interpol can only respond to the requests made. Made in the appropriate manner and completeness.

 

Now, first they say 190 member countries haven't informed us - Thai way of claiming "waiting for them, not our fault".

Then they say the Blue Notice yet to be issued - Thai way of implying "we are waiting the inefficient Interpol again, not our fault".

 

Given the length of time taken to submit a correct request for Red Bull boy; given their propensity for doing nothing themselves and then claiming they're waiting someone else; given the lack of any actual comment from Interpol or any countries' government; - do you think they er, might actually, not quite got round to issuing all the information Interpol requires and answering any questions? Do you think they are actually actively pursuing anything through diplomatic channels?

 

More the usual Thai speak for everyone else smoke and mirror show perhaps?

[starky]

Well If interpol couldn't give a <deleted> about a red notice on a murderer why would they follow up on a purely vengeful blue notice on someone found negligent? I would go so far to say that most of the world couldn't give a <deleted> about Thailand generally.

Oh dear, how sad, too bad, never mind. 

 

The world's 'criminal' priorities do not revolve around Bangkok.

Perhaps Interpol has nothing to report because she is not in any of the countries asked. It's not too difficult to lay low here in Thailand as she has so many supporters that would willingly take care of her. For a fee of course.
