Ex-Thai Prime Minister Convicted, Sentenced in Absentia on Negligence Charges
Ousted Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra has been convicted in absentia on charges of negligence in connection with a botched rice-buying scheme and sentenced to five years in prison.
Thailand's Supreme Court issued its verdict Wednesday, a month after Yingluck failed to appear for the initial reading. She is believed to have fled to Dubai to join her brother, ex-Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra.
Yingluck is accused of mishandling a multi-billion dollar rice-buying scheme initiated during her tenure. Under the program, the government bought rice at above-market prices from poor farmers and resold it later at a higher price. But the scheme backfired, sustaining over $1 billion in losses and leaving Thailand with huge stockpiles of unsold rice.
She has denied the charges, claiming they were politically motivated.
A former commerce minister ((Boonsong Teriyapirom)) was sentenced last month to 42 years in jail by a Bangkok court in connection with the rice subsidy scandal.
Yingluck was overthrown in 2014 in a military coup, capping a decade-long period of political turmoil that began when her brother, Thaksin Shinawatra, was himself forced out of office in 2006 by the military, which backed Thailand's Bangkok-based royalist-leaning, wealthy elite.
The anti-Thaksin forces, who protested in the streets of Bangkok wearing yellow shirts, gave rise to the pro-Thaksin Red Shirts, whose ranks included the rural poor who strongly supported Thaksin's policies. The two sides engaged in violent, sometimes deadly clashes in the streets of Bangkok during that era.
Thaksin himself has lived in exile since 2008 to avoid corruption charges brought against him.
