Thaksin is wanted by the authorities .... possibly ASIO, FBI, IPOL, Army, Khun Prayut Chan O Cha and others ... and the Police and maybe CIA, AFP.

 

 

They don't have far to go to find him.

Thai authorities for sure, but the rest? Have they ever really given it to Interpol? They say they are, they say they have, but amazingly it turns out they never have, or interpol needed more info that never came hmmm, & it was tossed. Same with all the earblather years back about extradition. They say they are, they say they will, but never happens.

That seems very odd to me, If he is such a criminal.   ????

Meanwhile in Dubai - Thaksin takes a sip from his glass of champagne spreads a bit more caviar on his blini while laughing out loud reading this news article. Now compare this court decision to the one the powerful crooks behind the scenes arranged for him in his assets declaration case whereby “accidentally” billions where held by the maid and gardeners. 

The Thai judiciary is nothing but a cheap corrupt tool for the crooks running things from behind the scene.

They can always give it to interpol. They can always extradite. However international standards will have to be met in both cases. Can you say, 'Never going to happen'.

[Bender Rodriguez]

powers in place are doing everything he never can return and be elected, what would happen for sure

 

maybe the students can start to protest for that, not thaksin, but the lack of ...

[Srikcir]

The real "crime" is that Thaksin allegedly violated the Constitution without a 'wink and nod' from the Deep State. So he is found quilty in absentia by a retroactive law expressivrly intended for his conviction withour regard to statute of limitations by an organization that has a long history of coups against constitutions.

Same as could have been applied to "The Boss" for murder of a policeman as he tries to run out the statute; but he seems in lockstep with the "relevant" authorities to avoid such a trial.

He is/was also wanted by the people of Thailand.

 

They wanted him to be the Prime Minister.

 

They kept on electing him.

And probably would do today if he was a contender in an election

That says a lot about their attitude to systematic corruption.

 

 

They know he raped the country but as they believed he did some good they would vote for him.

 

 

Obviously, the 500 Baht incentives helped.

Yes, but right or wrongly, the lives of millions of Thais was better under Thaksin's rule than it is today (or even pre-covid).

This current Administration is not one to be accusing others of moral transgressions. Have you noticed that the only chargers that are ever brought against anybody here, are former politicians, former policeman, former Customs officers. Never any current members of the army, never any current high-ranking members of the police. It is a clown show, with zero dignity, zero credibility and something we should pay zero attention to.

Well there was Ole Fatties watch case but it grew legs and ran away.  They threw out Thanathorn and his party because they smelled trouble on the horizon, and then of course there is still a Heroin dealer in Government. What better way to keep the group saturated with trough feeders and true politicians.  However, where else can you find more convicted people running the government than in the US.

Good point. Both the US and Thailand are bottom of the barrel, crime infested administrations.

Now that PM Thaksin has been dealt with (time and again), will the judiciary find some time to go after criminals close to the current government as well?

and the Red Bull kid cop killer walks away with no jail term.... amazing Thailand

"... 5 years in jail for illegally owning shares in phone companies ..."

 

That's a convenient snip. Read the full article, it's a lot more complex than that including massive corruption of taxpayers funds.

NOT always him, what do you think about his sister?

She is the next to get a turn.

[Peterphuket]

But....I have to say, when I have to make a choice, Thaksin, by far better.

nothing new, everyone knew he was in it for the money and stole as much as he could from Thailand to benefit himself , his family and his friends

He shared a bit more with the peasants than the current lot though.

Some truth in that, the 30Baht medical scheme, but surely also true that the small benefits he shared were also good to sway votes.

I don't think that he cares much what they say/do He's Not Here, So why should he worry. 

[sturdyd]

Boy! Talk about carrying a grudge!

[pomchop]

maybe if taksin would buy a few hundred million red bull shares he could get on the dental cocaine train and all would be forgiven?

[Sydebolle]

So get this right; some stuff has statutory limitations and then expire, others can be pulled out from the lowest drawer 10+ years later and brought to court? 

Potential investors; please note the legal flexibility of DabaDabaDo Land, just in case you might have something going tits up with a local joint-venture partner. Rumors could have it, that a joint-venture could end in "join an adventure" - just thinking out loud .........

I dont know how much swaying, from what I saw most votes were bought.
