Thaksin Shinawatra: Thailand's fugitive ex-PM Thaksin Shinawatra returns to jail from years in self-exile
Thailand's former PM Thaksin Shinawatra, has returned to the country for the first time since 2008. Thaksin, who had been in self-exile, arrived just hours before his allies attempted to form a government following weeks of political deadlock. Thaksin, who was accused of corruption and disloyalty to the monarchy, appeared briefly at the airport before being escorted to the Supreme Court and then to prison. His return has prompted speculation that there is a behind-the-scenes deal allowing him to come back safely.
