Hunt for top fugitives a case of shooting in the dark

Hunt for top fugitives a case of shooting in the dark

Re: Army chief admits Yingluck and Thaksin cannot be arrested without Interpol help

“The Army commander-in-chief [General Chalermchai Sitthisart] has admitted that it is beyond the capability of Thai authorities to arrest fugitive former prime ministers Thaksin and Yingluck Shinawatra and that they have to rely on the help from the Interpol.”
What idiocy; what in the world does the Army commander-in-chief have to do with any of this ? And it goes to the heart of Thai thinking about other countries; they don’t; Thailand is quick to assert their own sovereignty but they seem to think that all other countries are Thai provinces

Oh, so the timing is just a coincidence then? Didn’t notice him saying why he was going there [Singapore]. Additionally, if they are serious about repatriation, why are they not pushing Interpol with every ounce of their energy? Don’t bother, we all know the answer.

Interpol has no agents that can arrest. The organisation functions as an administrative liaison among the law enforcement agencies of the member countries, providing communications and database assistance.

Just when you thought there were enough empty uniforms blowing their trumpets, here comes another one brimming with self-importance.

She will be in Singapore next few days. Let’s see how much sway and cooperation from your Asean brothers. I think zilch.

As there is no extradition treaty between Singapore and Thailand It’s doubtful that Thai authorities will be expecting any co-operation!

“There were several protocols that the Thai police would have to follow and some of them were beyond the capability of the Thai police.”
Seems there are a lot of things beyond the capability of the Thai police. Policing being the biggest one.

The persecution and seizing of assets of a  democratically chosen prime minister by a self appointed military junta is seen by the rest of the world as what it is. That's Prayuts problem.
