Just to get the facts straight, from what I have read about this since his return, he has never received a Royal pardon. His sentence was commuted from 8 years to 1 year, which is not the same thing, although the "journalists" employed by AN and Thaiger, as well as many on this forum, do not seem to understand the difference.

 

Yes..... that bit is as clear as mud.

He doesnt seem sick now does he, only when it suits his situation so if the say comes get ready " I dont feel well "  then it seem he isnt keeping his word said he too old if he return will stay out of politics, one thing he still dying his hair daily. Nice and black for s guy 70 plus.

Well said 

some people just dunno how the game is played here. Still harping on Thaksin’s to go to jail 🤣

I think this is misdirection.

 

I don't think the aim is to jail Thaksin for influencing PT, the goal is to dissolve PT for being influenced by Thaksin. The PT MPs would then be up for grabs by the remaining coalition parties and Prawit or Anutin would end up on top.

He's already received a royal pardon. 

I believe that the Royal pardon reduced His sentence from 8 years to 1. The main complaint is that He did not serve 1 day of that 1 year sentence.

Chances of him being sent to jail - zero.

Chances of him being sentenced to a jail term and then suddenly developing another "illness" that requires special treatment in a private VIP hospital suite until he's eligible for parole (again) - probably as close to a sure thing as you can get.

He's still facing a Lese Majesty trial as well though I suspect the brown envelopes are flying around thick and fast to make sure the outcome of that is "favourable" to him as well.

Could have settle this once and for all the first time he fled the country by having him arrested and returned while he was still in China. China cares a lot more about getting Thailand under it's thumb than it does about another corrupt former leader.

Then again, they can't even get a guy arrested who killed a cop in a drunken hit and run so they probably had less chance of getting Thaksin back, even from the UK where it seems owning a "footie club" makes you almost as untouchable as being (English) royalty.

Thaksin is a slippery sneaky piece of work. He should go back to Dubai and STAY THERE! So much circus and confusion since he arrived, supposedly very sick, where after he became healthy as ever and the mess started.

He's not too rich to be jailed, but he has supporters in extremely high places who control what happens with or without legal shenanigans.

False. Name just one centi millionaire or billionaire who has been jailed in Thailand. Bet you can't.

Phew. Just when the Thaksin obsessives were close to starving they're thrown this lump of red meat.

The Mr T hate mob must have a blind spot which prevents them from seeing that he (Mr T) has been granted a Royal Pardon.

The Royal Pardon I believe commuted Thaksin's Sentence to 12 months to be served in Prison. As Thaksin did not serve a single day in Prison he is in breech of the terms of his Pardon and an affront to 112 and should be hoiked off to serve 12 months actually in Prison
