THE Supreme Court judges in charge of criminal lawsuits against persons in political positions this morning (Sep. 9) passed a verdict returning de facto Pheu Thai boss Thaksin Shinawatra to jail and serve out the one-year sentence he had received on charges of perpetrating a few counts of misconduct during his previous premiership over the last couple of decades which had been curtailed from eight to one year under a royal decree, Thai Rath newspaper said.
This lawsuit was filed against Thaksin and others for allegedly conspiring to take legal loopholes and perpetrating a six-month-long fakeout at Police Hospital in lieu of being literally put behind bars to otherwise serve the curtailed, one-year jail sentence at Bangkok Remand prison until he was released on parole early last year.
