george Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Ex-wife of Thaksin to return home Friday night BANGKOK: -- Ex-wife of fugitive former PM Thaksin Shinawatra and her daughter are due to return home on Friday night. Khunying Pojaman and her youngest daughter; Paethongtarn will return to Bangkok from Hong Kong by Thai International Airways at about 10.30pm. Pojaman was granted bail after being convicted on tax evasion charge is reportedly arriving Bangkok from Hong Kong. Thaksin had said that he and Pojaman decided to divorce, ending 12-year marriage because Pojaman did not want him to re-enter the Thai politics. Many believe that the divorce was for political reason. Her return, if true, was coincided with a meeting of Pheu Thai Party to elect new party leader scheduled on Sunday. The party is a spare part of People Power Party which was dissolved by the Constitution Court this week and its executive members were banned from politics for five years. Immigration Police Commissioner Lt Gen Chatchawal Suksomjit confirmed Friday that Pojaman Shinawatra will return to Bangkok at about 10 pm Friday night. Chatchawal said immigration police had no arrest warrant against Pojaman so she would pass through normal immigration procedure. -- The Nation 2008-10-05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zaphodbeeblebrox Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 I guess the Pheu Thai Party is anxiously waiting the launch of Thaksin surrogate version 3.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickmac Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Surely she broke her conditions of bail, when she left China for the UK? Should she not be arrested on arrival at Swampy and thrown in the BKK Hilton? (we live in hope, but I doubt that would happen). Is she still appealing her conviction?

Kerryd Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Chatchawal said immigration police had no arrest warrant against Pojaman so she would pass through normal immigration procedure. Is she not a fugitive, who was out on bail and fled to avoid prison ? And there is no arrest warrant ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that she had been convicted already and has to serve 2.5 year prison sentence? I agree it will never happen. Cheers, Rick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h90 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 I think something like that: she reports to the police, therefor she didn't jump bail and everything is OK or she need to pay 500.000 as guarantee. It isn't logic at all but I am sure she checked that in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 How come the police always seem to know who is coming and when...Do these people call the police to tell them they are coming back?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
womble Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 How can she not be arrested on arrival? How can she be a fugitive and yet just walk straight through immigration and into her limo? What I find most disturbing is the fact the whole mess this country is in is down in the most part to her and her husband and yet her arrival coincides with an important meeting that will no doubt be central to continuing the economic misery that will be faced by millions in this country while her and her greedy ex husband work out ways they can pay people off to get back the billions that have been impounded.

otherstuff1957 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 She's obviously been given a 'get out of jail free' card. I don't think it's too much to say that between PAD on one side and the Shinawats on the other, the rule of law has been completely abandoned in Thailand.

Insight Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 No doubt the PAD would like to see her arrested - which is more than reasonable. I'm a tad concerned now however that if this doesn't happen - which is the way it's looking - they'll be back out again at the airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JUDAS Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Divorcing Mr.T was clearly a calculated step. Wife and I talked about it at the time and both agreed it was a way of laying the groundwork for her return. No doubt she'll be working feverishly on her "ex husband's" behalf.

venturalaw Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 It is certain that she will be the next PM, pardon her ex-husband, and they will co-habitate happily ever after. Perfect for him because this way he can reap the benefits of having a nexus to the PM office, and pass the blame onto his ex when things go wrong.
