webfact Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Yingluck will be arrested if she tries to flee: NACCThe NationBANGKOK: -- Former PM faces IndIctment from attorney general over rIce scheme, while EC probes her spending on trip prior to election last yearFormer prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra, who now faces criminal charges over the rice-pledging scheme, could be arrested if she shows any intention of leaving the country to avoid the court trial, the anti-graft body said yesterday.Impeachment by the junta-installed National Legislative Assembly (NLA) on Friday was not the end of her troubles because the Office of the Attorney General has decided to indict her in the Supreme Court's Criminal Division for Political Office Holders in connection with the rice-pledging scheme.The Election Commission is also looking at evidence to decide whether or not she used state funds and resources for a political campaign ahead of the February 2 election last year, which was the subject of major street protests.National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) secretary-general Sansern Polajiak said the public prosecutor has one month to write and submit a criminal writ to the Supreme Court.After drafting of the writ is completed, prosecutors have to coordinate with the NACC to inform Yingluck that she has to report to the Attorney General on the day the suit is filed at the court.If Yingluck fails to turn up, the Attorney General will ask the NACC to fetch her. If it looks like she intends to flee the country, the NACC would ask the police to issue a warrant for her arrest. However, Sansern said he believed the former PM was ready to stand trial to fight the charges.Former Pheu Thai Party MP Amnuay Khlangpha said the party would not protest over the prosecution of Yingluck on criminal charges or her impeachment because the party wanted peace and stability. He believed Yingluck would not flee the country because she has already announced her intention to fight the charges in accordance with justice procedures.While some have said they see Yingluck's impeachment as a chance to open the door for an amnesty and reconciliation, Amnuay believes it would be "extremely appropriate" to issue an amnesty law."Reconciliation is just 'lip service' without amnesty. These two must go hand in hand," Amnuay said.National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) spokesman Winthai Suvari said Yingluck's prosecution was a separate matter that had nothing to do with reconciliation. The NLA voted freely without any influence from the NCPO.He said Yingluck must still observe the NCPO's rules and seek permission if she wants to travel abroad, which she has not made done since she was impeached and indicted on criminal charges over the rice-pledging scheme.Winthai said there were no political "undercurrents" that might spark a new round of political conflict after Yingluck's impeachment. There had been only comments from people with different political attitudes.Former education minister Chaturon Chaisang posted on his Facebook page that Yingluck's impeachment was not carried out democratically and the intent was to get the Shinawatra family out of politics.He foresaw more "ill intentions" of the May 22 coup, such as hitting the strength of Pheu Thai Party, reducing the role and power of elected parties, allowing an unelected prime minister, senators and independent agencies, and increasing the authority of the Constitutional Court."I am not instigating protests but the voice of the people is always meaningful and once the collective voice gets louder, it would be strong enough to suspend disaster to democracy,'' he said.Pheu Thai's acting deputy spokesman Anusorn Iam-saard denied reports that Yingluck would hold a press conference at different places over her impeachment. He said Yingluck would prove her innocence through the justice system.He said the party hopes that once democracy returns to the country, justice will prevail. "What happened [with her impeachment] is the torment that must be kept in our heart. We will wait till the day the election comes," he said.Inquiries into Yingluck's activities are not over yet. Election Commission chairman Supachai Somcharoen said the EC sub-panel had not completed its probe into the allegation that Yingluck used state funds and resources while campaigning in the North and Northeast prior to the February 2 election. He said five panel committees would tentatively finish their probe before the end of January but he had no idea if they could wrap up the probe as expected, as he could not interfere.Source: http://www.nationmultimedia.com/politics/Yingluck-will-be-arrested-if-she-tries-to-flee-NAC-30252666.html-- The Nation 2015-01-26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

selftaopath Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Her brother who has been smart enough - doesn't take much - to outsmart all of the Thai govt. can figure out a way of getting her out of Thailand if he chooses. He is a criminal mastermind. And much more "savy" than any/most other Thais. Hell he lives freely out of Thailand w/out any apparent concern that Thailand will - even remotely - change his life style. lol Thailand lol.....

Anything to save the Red darling from being convicted and forced to pay restitution. So do you think she directly profited or took money via the rice scheme? there would be a money trail if she did, or if in fact she did then gaol her for corruption no problem, but if not then what? would she be able to counter sue for false arrest? The thing is I support any gaoling of corrupt people red yellow or purple, but I don't support the selective hunting down of chosen targets to eliminate the opposition. The other thing is isn't it quite convenient that all the documents just happened to go floating off with the flood waters regarding the Dems corruption issues and no other records were kept and now no case to answer. do you not see the bias and one sidedness here? or do you truly believe that all the Dem's are quite clean honest and just "good people" who only have the interest of the country in mind? How can a person be impeached whilst no longer holding the office of PM? in reality you can't But these are just my personal thoughts The world is watching. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post thesetat2013 Posted January 26, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 26, 2015 i think she got bigger balls than her brother and will stand the trial...or is too dumb to realize what's going on... I do believe you don't mean to say she would have balls to stand trial. She refused to answer any questions for her own impeachment. Most likely due to her inability to answer any questions without someone feeding her the words to use for her reply. It is apparent there is sufficient evidence to indict her on the charges so she must be able to show her innocence? What do you think she will say? I was busy shopping so I didn't know about that? The most likely scenario is that she will do a last minute runner the same as her big brother. He has the means to extract her from Thailand without fears of getting caught at some Immigration checkpoint. This will save her from any jail time and quite possibly from losing any monetary damages for the huge losses incurred in the scheme. if the Army seizes her assets to compensate for this she will most likely get them back after the Junta is no longer in charge. The same way her brother got the money back that they took from him. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post oneday Posted January 26, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 26, 2015 (edited) The NACC is nothing but a bunch of rabid dogs chasing down their bloodied prey. Putting her in jail will completely end any hopes of reconciliation for this country. It will also prove what everyone knows, this country is being taken over by an Bangkok elite that intend to govern this country whether they are elected or not and thus there goes all hopes of Democracy ever coming to this country.

Popular Post bino Posted January 26, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 26, 2015 "Reconciliation is just 'lip service' without amnesty. These two must go hand in hand," Amnuay said. Issuance of an amnesty will just show the Thai people that Thailand is as corrupt as ever was, a place where the priveleged can get away with anything, and that a real change and reconciliation will probably not happen in their lifetime. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

binjalin Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 very sad for her and Thais are so vindictive has she benefited, personally, in her bank accounts from the rice scheme? I don't believe she has. If all the politicians in the world were prosecuted for errors there would not be enough jails and Blair and Bush would be top of the list with their WMD fallacy that killed 10,000s. Peace and reconciliation would be a wiser path Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
