The wife of the deposed Thai prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra was arrested on corruption charges as she stepped off a plane from Hong Kong today.

Pojaman Shinawatra, the former leader's trusted confidante and advisor, had signalled her intent to return. Immigration police served her with an arrest warrant at Bangkok international airport.

Dressed in a sharp black suit and wearing sunglasses, the 51-year-old waved to the media and supporters as she was whisked into the supreme court, which released her on 6m baht (£90,000) bail and ordered her to appear later this month.

Black is good... for people who want to look skinnier than they really are!

Bail!

The biggest problem of this country.

Every influential person gets it whatever their crime.

In cases like this bail would be given in most countries.
