Thaksin to return to Thailand in August after 15 years in exile

Al Jazeera  

Billionaire former prime minister faces a potential jail term on corruption charges if he returns home. Thailand’s former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra plans to return home on August 10 after 15 years in self-imposed exile, his daughter has said. Thaksin and the Pheu Thai party backed by his billionaire family remain popular among Thailand’s working and rural masses, coming in second in the May 14 poll. Pheu Thai is trying to form a government after the military-dominated Senate blocked election winners Move Forward from naming a prime minister. Thailand’s deputy national police chief Surachate Hakparn said Thaksin would be subject to the judicial process upon his planned return.
