Report Thaksin Faces Possible Resentencing Over Hospital Stay

[kingstonkid]

I am sure if not DMK he has a jet ready at an airport.  Maybe the PM will have a meeting in Dubai, she has to attend, and can fly out on her private plane.

 

 

With everything happening and now possibly upsetting Anutin and the BJT with the shuffle I think things are going to get interesting this summer.  Also do not forget that one of the biggest protesting groups will all be back in Bangkok in July.

That would be music to a lot of Thais ears but it won’t happen the private aircraft is fueled up ready to head back to Dubai

With a Royal Pardon, how can he be resentenced - plucking at straws? 

His sentence was reduced to a year by the Royal Pardon

I'm not asking / suggesting you do anything. This is the responsibility of the 'elected' government.

Not so sure about that. I've read previously that his private jet is parked at a private airport in Cambodia, just 20 minutes drive from the Thai/Cambodian border. A fully operational airport which is legal but operates outside of international regulations.

Tonys whole family needs to be locked up.....

But instead they run Thailand as their personal , for profit, business ...99.9% chance Tonys one hour at the jail, is all the time he will ever serve ......

If they "ran" Thailand they wouldn't need to flee every now and then. Now there is this one other family...🤫

It seems, especially with the Phea Thai party, that they are all jockeying for positions within and are more concerned with outing their bedfellows from other parties in positions of power than they are in addressing the real issues the country is facing.

Click bait - we all know the outcome......

Thailand's Supreme Court has slated a pivotal hearing in July to delve into the legitimacy of ex-Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra's extended hospital sojourn, a move that might see him facing the clink once more.

 

The drama unfurled as the country's medical council reaffirmed its decision to penalise three doctors responsible for allowing the 75-year-old mogul to dodge detention, enforcing the court's call for their resolution in the upcoming session.

 

Though devoid of an official state mantle, Thaksin's sway is undeniable, particularly as the silent force behind the Pheu Thai Party, steered by his daughter, Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra.

 

His legal quagmires, coupled with a separate charge over royal defamation, add turbulence to an already wobbling government, entangled with economic doldrums and a Cambodian border imbroglio.

 

Skyrocketing controversy surrounds Thaksin, once jailed post-return from self-imposed exile in 2023 to cap off an eight-year term for power abuse and conflict of interest, only for those years behind bars to dwindle to one by royal grace.

 

A nocturnal prison chest pain spree led to his VIP police hospital stay, sparking public outcry across Thailand, with sceptics questioning his true health status.

 

As the courtroom prepares for a showdown, it summons 20 witnesses, including an ex-corrections bigwig and physicians privy to Thaksin's care, complete with his medical records. Thaksin retains the right to present his own evidence, though he won't need to show up in court physically.

 

The judicial team has pencilled in six days in July, kicking off on the 4th and wrapping on the 30th, to hear the saga of Thaksin's medical mysteries.

 

Defending his client, Attorney Winyat Chartmontri stood firm outside the courthouse, asserting, "The truth is he was sick, and he has completely served his sentence," and contended the crux was over the severity rather than the existence of his maladies, addressing the tribunal's verdict.

 

As the drama unfolds, the case remains a keystone for not just Thaksin’s future but for Thailand's political theatre.
