webfact Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Deposed Thai premier spotted in Montenegro: reports PODGORICA (AFP) -- Former Thai premier Thaksin Shinawatra, on the run from corruption charges, was spotted in the Montenegrin town of Budva this weekend, a local TV station reported Monday. Thaksin was seen in coastal Budva's medieval old town on Sunday, enjoying coffee and cakes in one of the area's posh hotel with his entourage, TV Vijesti reported, quoting witnesses. Police refused to comment the reports. According to press reports Thaksin, a former telecoms tycoon, has a Montenegrin passport but so far officials in this former Yugoslav republic have refused to confirm if he has been given citizenship. The populist former prime minister was ousted in a 2006, and has been living abroad, mostly in Dubai, to avoid a jail term for corruption. In Thailand on Monday the current government rejected and ultimatum by tens of thousands of pro-Thaksin protesters who demand immediate elections. Prime Minister Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva and the rest of the government and the top military brass have taken refuge in military barracks amid fears that the so-far peaceful demonstration by "Red Shirt" supporters of Thaksin could turn violent. -- ©Copyright AFP 2010-03-15 Published with written approval from AFP.

Typical Thaksin. And he says that the current government are a bunch of elites? I wish the video or photo of this could be broadcast on the red's stage. It would be good to show them who their brave leader is, while they sacrifice their own blood at his altar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the government had anything to do with this one. They got enough egg with the "He's in Cambodia / No he's not" reports from the FM.
