More of The Nation's Shameless Lies

The Nation


Last October, the Supreme Court sentenced Thaksin in absentia to two years in jail for abuse of power after finding him guilty of illegally facilitating a deal for his then wife Pojaman to buy a prime block of Ratchadapisek land in Bangkok. He and Pojaman had fled to England before the ruling. Pojaman, who was acquitted in the case but is appealing a tax-evasion conviction, returned to Thailand in December after divorcing him.


The Nation is absolutely shameless.

The court didn't find Thaksin "guilty of illegally facilitating a deal for his then wife Pojaman to buy a prime block of Ratchadapisek land in Bangkok."

A complete fabrication not even close to the truth.

The truth is Thaksin was found guilty of having a spouse who bought land at a state auction while he was prime minister. That was the crime. The court never even declared that there was a criminal conspiracy to defraud the state or that Potjaman was guilty of any wrongdoing.

The ruling was idiotic despite the lies of The Nation.
