http://www.nationmultimedia.com/breakin ... d=30086540The Supreme Court Tuesday found former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra guilty in the Ratchada land case. He was sentenced to 2 years in jail. Pojaman Shinawatra, his wife, was found not guilty and the court revoked arrest warrant against her. The court found that Thaksin had violated Article 100 and Article 122 of the National Counter Corruption Act, which states that government officials, including prime ministers, and their spouses are prohibited from entering into or having interests in contracts with state agencies under their supervision. The high court ruled to sanction the land transaction and dismissed the prosecution request to seize the plot.
It will be interesting to see the British government's response to this verdict as they consider Thaksin's application for political asylum. And apparently the poor chap's Roller has been damaged in London - http://www.nationmultimedia.com/search/ ... d=30086377
