Legal Case Involving Thaksin Shinawatra for Alleged Offences Against Monarchy
A significant legal case involving Thaksin Shinawatra under Section 112 of the Criminal Code for alleged offences against the monarchy came into the public eye on February 6. Originating from an event in Seoul, South Korea, in 2015, the case led to charges under Section 112 and the Computer Crimes Act. Despite being committed outside Thailand, the case is under Thai jurisdiction, and an arrest warrant was issued upon Thaksin's return in 2023. Thaksin denied the charges and requested fairness, and the case is now under review by the Office of the Attorney General.
