Yingluck’s whereabouts still unknown: Don
Nearly three weeks after Yingluck Shinawatra failed to show up in court to hear the verdict in the malfeasance case against her, authorities remain uncertain as to where the fugitive former premier might be.
Foreign Minister Don Pramudwinai said on Tuesday that it was still unclear in which country Yingluck was hiding, but the Foreign Ministry was following all possibilities closely.
The ministry had not yet found Yingluck to be seeking asylum anywhere, he added.
Authorities must first have direct visual evidence that it was indeed her before confirming she was in any particular location, he stressed.
However, there have been no notifications of her whereabouts so far, apart from the various unreliable news reports circulating about her disappearance, the minister said.
Regarding reports that the ex-PM had fled through Sa Kaeo province to Cambodia, Don said his ministry had not “reached out” to that country, but officials of both nations were discussing the matter.
