BANGKOK - Police and corrections department officials will arrest former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, 74, as soon as he disembarks his private jet in Don Mueang Airport on Tuesday, sources have said.
If he arrives within court hours, he will be taken to the Supreme Court’s criminal division for holders of political office before corrections department officials take him to the Bangkok Remand Prison. Sources also said that once Thaksin arrives, he will be apprehended by immigration Police and then taken to Don Mueang police station to record his arrest.
According to Mr Aryut Sintopphan, director-general of the corrections department, Thaksin will be recorded as an inmate once he is handed over to the Bangkok Remand Prison.Since Thaksin is elderly, prison doctors will determine if he needs to be under the close care of doctors or not. If he is found to have a chronic condition, doctors will decide whether he should be detained in the prison hospital.
