A warrant for the arrest of former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra has been issued by the Supreme Court's Criminal Division for Holders of Political Positions. The case involves a batch of KTB loans provided to the affiliates of Krisdamahanakorn Plc, a major property and real estate firm. The deposed premier knew about the arrest warrant from the internet and he was now in Moscow and will travel to England later, he added.
