Nope, it has more to do with blending in...

I hope he is caught soon, when they catch him he wont have a leg to stand on.

He should be a push over, really.

[MeHere]

I saw a man with a wooden leg and a real foot

[Monkeyrobot]

I was legless last night.

[wvavin]

He knows where he can go with his wealth.

"We know they had links into other organised crime gangs in Europe and it is almost certain that this wasn't the first time they had done it."

 

Since the police had the drugs in question, it seems unlikely that the lord kingpin mastermind is all that rich.

It should be easy to get rid of him fast. Just tell him last Sunday Moby Dick was spotted in the South Pacific 3 miles off Rarotonga.

He wasn't jailed, because he couldn't be "jailed in his absence".  He was sentenced to prison in his absence. The word "prison" is used instead of "jail" when referring to lengthy sentences such as 11 years.  RTP can easily find him in the gogo bars of Pattaya.

..legless.

Fishing boat or whatever to the Irish coast.  QED.

[Miss Pickle]

Is he not on some wanted list how does it not flag up when he arrives in the country. Too many of these low life's hiding out in Thailand  seems to be the first place they head for. Police need to try harder to get them out along with all the Russian Gangsters.
