Yingluck Shinawatra, a runaway former prime minister, is expected to return to Thailand in April of next year, according to former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra’s younger girl.
Based on its exclusive interview with Thaksin last Thursday in Udon Thani state, Japan’s Nikkei Asia media outlet reported this on Monday in a account based on that report.
According to Thaksin, Yingluck should be able to attend the Songkran event in April of next year.
Thaksin said in the statement that he did not see any problem to Yingluck’s profit, and she might be again somewhat before the Songkran festival, depending on schedule and opportunity.
During a trip to his local state of Chiang Mai in April, Thaksin claimed that Yingluck may arrive before the end of this year. Seven years ago, she was last seen in people.
The Supreme Court’s Criminal Division for Citizens in Political Positions on Sept 27, 2017, sentenced Yingluck to five years in prison for failing to stop fraudulent and corruption-plagued government-to-government sales of corn from her administration’s rice-pledging system.
The jury pronounced judgement in Yingluck’s presence. The statement was postponed from Aug 25, 2017, after she failed to appear. A , subpoena was immediately issued , for her arrest.
Before the jury rendered its decision, Yingluck reportedly eluded leaving the country to meet with Thaksin in Dubai.
In December next time the Supreme Court , acquitted Yingluck , of wrongdoing in her 2011 exchange of a National Security Council secretary-general.
Previous month the Supreme Court , acquitted her , of wrongdoing and cooperation in the granting of a 240-million-baht campaign to promote her administration’s 2-trillion-baht system projects.
