Thai court orders the arrest of City owner

THAILAND’S Supreme Court has issued a warrant for the arrest of Manchester City owner Thaksin Shinawatra on corruption charges.

The ruling came after Mr Thaksin, Thailand’s ousted Prime Minister, and his wife failed to attend court in the Thai capital, Bangkok.

The court was to hear the first of a series of cases being brought against the former leader, who was ousted in a military coup last year.
