[バンコク １９日 ロイター] – Former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin (74), who has been on the run since 2008, will return to Japan on the 22nd. Her second daughter, Phae Thong Tan, said in a post on her social media on Wednesday.
Thaksin, who was ousted in a military coup in 2006, has been sentenced to a total of 10 years in prison for corruption and other crimes, and if he returns, he will be subject to judicial procedures such as imprisonment.
Phae Thong Tan posted on social media that he would meet his father at Bangkok’s Don Mueang Airport on “Tuesday, August 22nd.”
Thailand’s parliament is scheduled to hold a vote to select the prime minister on the 22nd, and the Pheu Thai Party, which came in second in May’s general election, is expected to nominate Setter as the prime minister’s candidate. .
Some analysts say Mr Thaksin’s return suggests that the Phrao Party reached a deal with other parties to form a government after gaining support from pro-military parties.
