After his arrival in Thailand Tuesday morning following 15 years in self-imposed exile, Thaksin, 74 was then escorted to the Supreme Court to receive a detention warrant.
The court handed down eight years of imprisonment involving three cases which are abuse of power and malfeasance in the two-three digit lottery project, illegally ordering the Export-Import Bank loan for Myanmar and using nominees to hold shares in Shin Corp.
After the legal proceeding at the court, he was immediately taken to Bangkok Remand Prison. (TNA)
