Arrest Warrant For Ex-Pm Thaksin ' Normal Court Procedure ': Yingluck

[bigbamboo]

Something fishy here. They wait until now to issue a warrant for his arrest. Is this his free ticket back here? And once in country will the current PM turn over the reigns?

Reins vs reigns. The first one would enable him to control Thailand.

The second word................well, we can't go there can we?.

No. that would set a president precedent.

[billd766]

How odd.

It cannot be politically motivated as both this warrant and the one before were both issued by a Thaksin friendly government.

What I would do for an hour at the Four season hotel with her.

[FarangTalk]

Normal for a Shinawatra.

Normal for a wealthy Thai.

[Buchholz]

if they are serious about issuing an ARREST WARRANT, then they should turn it over to INTERPOL.

Especially since the person in the arrest warrant is a FUGITIVE.

By the way: Anyone know who is behind Krisdamahanakorn PLC, who is controlling it? I could imagine there could be some names in the list that are somehow connected to... well, you know who.

It was founded by Vichai Krisadathanond aka Vichai Krisdathanont aka Wichai Krisdathanont. I believe he is one of the 26 defendants in this case.

In 1993,

Vichai Krisadathanond was ordered by the share market authorities to step down as chairman of Krisda Mahanakhon Co after being accused of stock manipulation.

A decade after launching a crackdown on criminal suspects in financial and capital market scandals, the authorities have had little success in bringing any suspects to justice, raising questions about the effectiveness of the justice system. Only the case of the alleged manipulation of the stock of the now defunct Bangkok Bank of Commerce managed to reach the Supreme Court, though stock trader Song Watcharasriroj and 11 other defendants walked free after the statutory period governing the case was allowed to expire. Other cases involving individuals like Khunying Patcharee Wongpaithoon of defunct finance company First City Investment, and Vichai Krisdathanont of real estate firm Krisda Mahanakorn have either been dropped or are stuck in the legal process.

Wonder what led them to such a devious suspicion.

That will have a few mods squirming. Too intelligent for your average Nation forum specialist. Well Thaksin said he did not want to be Prime Minister but did he ever say what he wanted to be?

[animatic]

Can there be anything more embarrassing for a Prime Minister to admit that an arrest warrant for her brother and main advisor and 'del facto' boss, former PM himself is wanted by the law for failing to show up in court. All politically motivated? or does the PM respect the court, what a squirm this farce is becoming. Your full opinion on the matter please mam.

Can there be anything more embarrasing for a Judicial system that allows a man convicted to 20+ still walking the streets

Which would be the next logical step from thumbing his nose at the courts.

Or, I suppose using them for toilet tissue would be considered more insulting

than them showing the botton of his feet.

[TheKrayTriplet]

Yes, normal for the court, of course his actions are not normal,

but she conveniently glosses over that point.

Yet one more arrest warrant for him from one more court of law in Thailand.

He could probably paper over his whole bathroom with the paperwork just

for warrents for his stalled court dates awaiting his presence.

It would have to be a very small bathroom, very small indeed.

He should get used to having his toilet alongside his bed.

How odd.

It cannot be politically motivated as both this warrant and the one before were both issued by a Thaksin friendly government.

Which would be true if it were the government that issued warrants. In this case it was the Supreme court. I haven't said that the courts can be manipulated but there have been plenty of allegations that this is so by posters throughout this forums' threads over the years.

Give the lady a chance won't you.

She's just mastered reading the script passed to her. Whether or not she is aware of the substance of the script will not be known unless debates it of course.

Her opinion requires a further script. Patience please.

It is often observed that women are capable of multi-tasking. Not sure if single tasking is true in this case

I don't think he was referring to that but I see your point. I was wondering who you were referring to myself. My interest in all this is fairly new so earlier references confuse me. I assume that you can post the name or link. Then maybe I can comment.

[MaxLee]

Typical Shinawatra logic about ARREST WARRANT and WHY IT'S NORMAL:

Thaksin is never gonna get caught, because that ARREST WARRANT is just a FACE-SAVING cover to conceal the public from any hidden corruption agenda, in getting the real Mastermind back to Thailand, somehow.

If that happens, it's gonna be Red and Yellow war all the way again!!!!

If I was at the Four seasons Hotel with her for an hour, I'd have a damned good meal with some fine wine and a specialty coffee and then ask the maitre'd to give her the bill.

[MAJIC]

I fail to see the point of her statement, in some crude warped way is she trying to say everything is fine and belittle the court, fact is that her brother is a criminal and all is clearly not fine

Yes! and her statement is implying:there's nothing to worry about,same as all the other,Thaksin failures to man up and face Justice.

I'm surprised no one (yet) has claimed this charge is also Politically motivated.

Not necessarily. He's got six of these so far.

I would pop to the loo and NOT return. Problem with all that is what sort of conversation could you have-any general knowledge subject would be out. Fashion and beauty products -I would be out of touch.

[metisdead]

I suppose I should have removed more, anyway, have removed some pointless nonsense posts that weren't addressing the topic.

[waza]

All of the defendants except Mr Thaksin appeared before the court to hear the charges.............The court reasoned that Mr Thaksin was informed of the scheduled hearing but failed to appear, so it was suspected that he was fleeing the trial.

He Isn't a fleeing fugitive, he is in self exile,lol

[rubl]

So why do you have just the photograph of an "arrest warrant" repeated 6 times - surely they should all be different? Just trying to remain on topic and not post pointless posts. And what are the six arrest warrants for?

One arrest warrant is in this particular topic, one for bail jumping August 2008, maybe one for being a convicted criminal on the run. Not that it really matters, don't you think one is enough already ?

BTW I removed the other quotes, no need to list six duplicate warrants again. I'm really surprised you listed them again while complaining

And what are the six arrest warrants for?

Yesterday's arrest warrant is the sixth warrant faced by Thaksin since he fled the country ahead of the Supreme Court's ruling on the Ratchadapisek land case in 2008.

The first arrest warrant was issued by Supreme Court, when Thaksin failed to attend the first hearing in the Export-Import Bank case on September 16, 2008.

The second and the third warrants were also issued by the Supreme Court in the same year for failing to attend the first hearings for the two- and three-digit lotteries and the telecommunication excise tax cases respectively.

The fourth warrant was issued by the Supreme Court on October 21, 2008, when Thaksin was sentenced to two years in jail for abusing power to facilitate a deal for his then-wife Pojaman na Pombejra allowing her to buy a Ratchadapisek land plot worth Bt772 million from the state.

The fifth warrant came from the Criminal Court on May 25, 2010, over terrorism charges. The court has yet to hear from the plaintiff's witnesses.

[kerrysum]

Reality?

He has never faced charges, he fled the Country of LOS, and he has enough money to buy passports around the world.... While little sis carries his dirty water? Where are the extradition papers? Somehow I think, the waters are more murky, than led on to be.......

And if he is innocent? Why doesn't he return home and fight these charges?????

Just my opinion.........

[hellodolly]

In what first world country is it a normal procedure to issue arrest warrants for their past leaders.

[metisdead]

Instead of bickering about whether somebody is posting half truths or misrepresentations, use the report button and the posts will be looked. into.

[kimamey]

In what first world country is it a normal procedure to issue arrest warrants for their past leaders.

Most of them I would guess if there was thought to be something to arrest them for.

What follows is my view on what would happen in a first world country. I admit I have no evidence for this view as I can't think of any similar incident in the developed world. If someone knows better let us know. I have say I would have thought it impossible for a convicted criminal on the run to be given entry to a western country but that has happened.

The PM is absolutely correct this is normal procedure. What isn't normal is not making attempts to bring him to justice and that may well apply to governments of both sides. It's also not normal for members of the police and government to go and visit a criminal on the run from a conviction and if other posts are to be believed other arrest warrants as well. I can't think that a criminal would be able to address a public rally using the internet either.
