Ex-premier Thaksin arrives in Thailand, ending exile: police


Ousted premier Thaksin Shinawatra returned to Thailand on Thursday, ending 17 months of self-imposed exile following a coup against his government, immigration police told AFP.

"His flight landed at 9:38 am (0238 GMT)," said Lieutenant Colonel Pakkapong Sai-ubon, the head of immigration at Bangkok's international airport.

Police were waiting at the airport to take Thaksin into custody and transport him to the Supreme Court, where he will be read corruption charges he faces.

Thaksin said Thursday that corruption claims against him were "made up" by the military to justify their coup, speaking to reporters on his flight to Bangkok.

"The allegations, they are made up to justify the coup," Thaksin said.
