Deposed Thai premier in Montenegro: police
PODGORICA, Montenegro (AFP) -- Montenegrin police confirmed on Wednesday the former Thai premier Thaksin Shinawatra, on the run from corruption charges, is in Montenegro and holds a passport of this Adriatic republic.
Thaksin arrived on March 13 by a private plane from Dubai to the Montenegrin coastal town of Tivat, police said in a brief statement.
"Mr Thaksin Shinawatra is a citizen of Montenegro and he is here at the moment. The police have no grounds to take any measures based on its competencies," the statement said.
Earlier, local media widely reported that Thaksin, a former telecoms tycoon, was seen in coastal Budva's medieval old town on Sunday.
Montenegro's officials have so far failed to explain how Thaksin obtained the citizenship of this former Yugoslav republic.
The populist former prime minister was ousted in a 2006 coup, and has been living abroad, mostly in Dubai, to avoid a jail term for corruption.
In Thailand, protesters hurled bags of their own blood at the prime minister's residence Wednesday on the fourth day of a rally in support of Thaksin.
The government of Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva has rejected an ultimatum by protesters who have demanded immediate elections.

If I remember some thread about Thai citizenship, it is illegal to hold dual citizenship..I realize that hundreds do, however, consider if indeed this is the LAW and the Thai Government confirmed that Thaskin is indeed a citizen of Montenegro, and moved to revoke his Thai citizenship.....Intresting bitch slap by the Thai government for all the trouble he has been giving them....

"POOR DEVIL"....... hopefully literally speaking............... He must be drawing all of his hidden accounts down alot - with all of his relocating, and will soon be "poor" (as the poor in Thailand who he cheated out of a better life)............. Wouldn't that be a fitting end of the story?????????????

Well if this is the case they would have to boot Abhisit too? 
BTW you can't revoke citizenship of someplace you are born. (facts are facts - once thai always thai)

some countries offer dual citizenship with thailand. I don't believe the ones he flocks to are on the list the gov't officials showed me when I inquired regarding those born as Thai nationals. This man is bribing for sure.
I don't see why the current gov't doesn't bring more charges agianst him..there are countless...crimes against humanity, treason, intent to incite mass rioting......why not end this silly game?

Wouldn't that be double standard? Letting hundreds have dual citizenship but revoke it from Thaksin because ...well ...because he's Thaksin?

last time you told us that a lot of charges already exist, but without going much into details about what kind of charges.
now you talking about more crimes, if you know so much and have evidence you can file the charges by yourself or at least share your information with the authorities.
provide intelligence and support the government!

To get a diplomatic passport of a country you need not be a citizen of that country.
Read Wikipedia: “In exceptional circumstances, a diplomatic passport is given to a foreign citizen with no passport of his own, such as an exiled VIP who lives, by invitation, in a foreign country.”

provide intelligence and support the government! The real answer, as I suspect you know only too well is that under the Thai legal system cases may be prepared but may not be brought to court without the defendant being here. Presently, under confidential warp for obvious reasons, there are a number of cases in abeyance.

lets leave out the personal bickering shall we
cheers 
by the way - thai law does allow dual citizenship in some cases. I cant say in Thaksin's case it would or would not qualify....but in those countries that he has citizenship for - perhaps it is not against their law to have dual or multi- citizenship?
Posted 2010-03-18 00:24:59
It seems that the Nation has a lot of catching up o do, just as their big examples. Prem cs have never seen a computer, the Nation obviously never used Twitter. Days ago pictures of Thaksin drinking coffee and eating cake in Montenegro were available just as real (foreign) newspapers were reporting on it.
Quite funny for a newspaper that is terrible edited and has only one goal in mind: Being biased towards democratic forces and always kiss up with the influential.

That fact is simply not true.
In the USA Under Supreme Court rulings, those born in the USA have citizenship, which can only be lost by voting in a foreign election, volunteering for service in a foreign military,
Thaksin arrived on March 13 by a private plane from Dubai to the Montenegrin coastal town of Tivat, police said in a brief statement.
"Mr Thaksin Shinawatra is a citizen of Montenegro and he is here at the moment
And just becasue Thailand might proceed against him, there is absolutly no law that says if you act against one person, you must then act against all person in simular circumstances.
