Come home soon, Thaksin, and go to jail – ex-minister | Thailand News Today

Come home soon, Thaksin, and go to jail – ex-minister

An ex-Democrat minister and legal expert mocked Tuesday’s suggestion by fugitive former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra that he might come home soon.

On Thursday, Nipit Intarasombat, an MP for Phatthalung, said Thaksin could fly anywhere in the world but if he touches down in Thailand, he’ll land in jail.

Nipit was responding to Thaksin’s baseless contention on Tuesday night that he would “definitely return” to Thailand this year.

Thaksin, who was thrown out of power by the 2006 coup and then fled a corruption case in 2008, said his youngest daughter, Paetongtarn Shinawatra, would announce that he will come home soon.
