Thai judge issues arrest warrant for ousted PM Thaksin

A Thai judge issued arrest warrants today for ousted prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra and his wife in connection with a corruption case against the Manchester City owner.

Supreme Court Judge Tonglor Choam-ngam said the court “has reason to believe that they are evading prosecution” in connection with the case involving the sale of a prime piece of Bangkok real estate in 2003 when Thaksin was prime minister.
