Thai police seek Interpol help to find Yingluck

By The Nation

 

 

Deputy National Police Chief Pol General Srivara Ransibrahmanakul on Monday ordered the police foreign affairs division to seek cooperation from Interpol, which has member police forces in 190 countries, in locating fugitive former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra.

 

Officers from Lat Phrao Police Station, who are responsible for supervising Yingluck’s residence, have confirmed with other people in the house that she no longer lives there, Srivara said.

 

Yingluck was last seen at the house on August 23, around 2pm, the deputy police chief said.

 

Police in the area had been instructed to check all the surveillance cameras around the house as well as Yingluck’s other residences in Bangkok and her hometown of Chiang Mai, but had failed to find her, Srivara said.

 

Yingluck reportedly fled Thailand last Wednesday and is now rumoured to be with her brother Thaksin in Dubai. There have been reports that she might seek asylum in the United Kingdom. Thaksin – another former prime minister who was toppled by a military coup – lives in Dubai and London in self-imposed exile to avoid abuse-of-power charges.

 

An arrest warrant was issued for Yingluck by the Supreme Court’s Criminal Division for Holders of Political Positions on Friday after she failed to turn up for the verdict reading in a negligence case against her related to her former government’s controversial rice-pledging scheme. The court postponed the verdict reading to September 27 and ordered the seizure of Yingluck’s Bt30-million bail.

 

Srivara said all related agencies were closely following any movement around the country’s borders, including the natural land borders, and had been instructed to report the results of the operation every five days.

 

There was no official record of Yingluck departing the country, he said. It was possible that she used the land border to flee, he said, adding that anyone who could drive could use this channel.

 

It had been beyond the police’s expectations that Yingluck would flee, Srivara said.

 

Pol Maj-General Apichart Suriboonya, head of the police foreign affairs division, said that following speculation that Yingluck had fled to Cambodia, Thai police had contacted their counterparts there. The Cambodian police said there was no official record of the former PM being in that country.

 

Regarding rumours that Yingluck was in Dubai, Apichart said the police would contact police in the United Arab Emirate to verify these claims. He added that the UAE is one of the 190 members of Interpol, which has channels for its members to cooperate.

 

Apichart said it could take “quite some time” to get a response from Interpol member countries.

 

If a foreign police force located Yingluck, Thai police could seek an international arrest warrant to have her apprehended. However, Apichart said it would be up to Interpol how it handled the case.

Interpol must be getting fed up with these idiots keep asking where people are.

[sweatalot]

another smokescreen.

They are not even able to get the red bull killer found and extradited.

 

Aren't there reports that she is with her brother?

You're 'avin' a right larf ?  

[samsensam]

 

they let her escape and then rely on others to find her; unprofessional, corrupt and lazy, these clowns bring thailand's image into disrepute again and again.

 

back in the real world it's probably better that she's out of the picture rather than doing a 10 year stretch and being a focal point for those in thailand wanting to cause trouble.

"He added that the UAE is one of the 190 members of Interpol, which has channels for its members to cooperate."

 

Yet, he neglected to add that UAE will not extradite anyone on a political crime.

Well done- all time record. 3 posts in for him to get a mention!

[ezflip]

Have they asked Interpol yet or will they blunder this the same way as the RedBull heir? Will they remember to translate the request and fill out the proper forms?

 

This should buy her a few months to come up with a spin story...

'Good day. We have an arrest warrant here, issued by the Supreme Court’s Criminal Division for Holders of Political Positions, on behalf of the National Council for Peace and Order and request you to - hey! Where are you going?"

"Deputy National Police Chief Pol General Srivara Ransibrahmanakul on Monday ordered the police foreign affairs division to seek cooperation from Interpol...in locating fugitive former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra."

Because that same request was so effective in locating and extraditing Vorayuth Yoovidhya,  the heir to the Red Bull fortune.  Just another gesture to make it appear that they are seeking justice. Those in power don't want the headache of all her supporters taking to the streets and demonstrating if she goes on trial.

The police farce is improving dramatically. It took them 5 years to figure out how to engage interpol for the Red Bull lad and less than a week to go after Yingluck.

 

Perhaps there is a different set of priorities in play here?

There doesn't seem to be any official paperwork with Interpol for either of them at the moment, so Interpol, quite possibly, have probably never heard from them at all. Saying you are going to ask Interpol for help and actually doing so, are two entirely different matters. Results are what matters and currently the country has none.

There is no way to see that for the vast majority of cases, the red list as published on their site is just a tiny fraction of cases and only people that the country seeking them has specifically asked to be made public, normally the notice is only available to the police and immigration.

Interpol after her? She'd better escape to a country where the authorities won't do anything to arrest her .... .....Thailand!

[bristolgeoff]

they is more to this than we know about,and how she escaped and they knew somehow

There are very few countries that will extradite someone on a political charge, Thailand being one of the few that do!  Doh!

Well, we know what her aids tell the press, that a high ranking police officer helped her, and we know what the chief of police says, that the police officer will not be dismissed for helping her.  The police just reinforced that they are still Red supporters.

To allow time for preparation of the documentation, a meeting has been scheduled for April 2018 to discuss which translator will be used to prepare the documentation in English. However the meeting will need to be rearranged should the outdoor air temperature exceed 30C.

[ben2talk]

Did they call in Interpol for information on how to find the Courts in Bangkok? Maybe Interpol can arrange training in use of mobile phones to assist in sharing locations and locating friends.

Does Yingrak use AIS? Did she have a helicopter on standby in the car-park outside the Courts? Was her case heard on the Army's day off?

So many questions...

Interpol said they'll be right on it after they have finished washing their hair

[bendejo]

Well, you can't say they didn't try.

Now back to serious business of citizen shakedowns.

Why all the criticism?!? They took down the bikini party mafia didn't they?!! I know I feel a lot more secure in my daily activities. I was worried there for a bit....not now though.

[Damrongsak]

TP :  "Have you seen Yingluck?"

 

Interpol: "What does she look like?"

 

TP : "Short Asian woman with dark, straight hair."

 

Interpol:  "Where was she last seen?

 

TP : "We lost sight of her in a sporting goods store."

 

Interpol: "What was she wearing?"

 

TP : "A camo track suit and Nike shoes."

 

Interpol : "Nike Free Run, Air VaporMax or Air Zoom?"

 

TP :  "Maybe the Zoom Fearless or Revolution 3."

 

Interpol: "Good luck."

 

TP : "No, Yingluck."

 

Interpol:  "OK, we'll file this under Noluck, YingYai."

So sorry you had to go through that.

[Thechook]

Takes 3 months to find a translator to copy the warrant or did they have hers prepared in advance

That's why Thaksin is still in Dubai
