Key Thai tax case could decide Thaksin fate
Prosecutors charged the wife of former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra and her brother yesterday with tax evasion in a case which could finish off the charismatic billionaire politically.
A verdict of not guilty against Potjaman Shinawatra, her brother and her secretary would undermine seriously the military leaders who staged a bloodless September coup accusing him of presiding over rampant corruption.
The three, later released on bail, were charged in court and the trial of the first of more than a dozen investigations of alleged wrongdoing during Thaksin’s five years in power to reach court would start on May 14, Potjaman’s lawyer said.
She, her brother and the secretary could face up to 14 years in jail over a transfer of shares in the firm Thaksin founded.
