Ex-Thai PM Thaksin's fortune seized
|
|
Thailand's Supreme Court ruled Feb. 26 that former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra abused his power to enrich himself and his family while in office and ordered that $1.4 billion (¥124 billion) of his telecommunications fortune be seized. The action was meant to quell tensions sparked by months of anti-Thaksin protests but instead polarized the nation. Thaksin and his supporters maintain he was overthrown because he challenged the country's entitled rich elite while helping the poor masses. (AP)
