Thaksins fd fru får ett "välkommet" pensionstillskott.
Dock inte lika mycket som Bangkok Post hävdar (772 miljarder bath).
Som ofta så har thailändare lite svårt för stora tal och blandar då
ihop hur många nollor som ska ingå i summan. (772 miljoner bath ska det vara)
Nu har "The Civil Court" bestämt att hon måste lämna tillbaka den stora
markbiten som hon tidigare under tvivelaktiga omständigheter köpte.
Dock ska hon få igen alla sina pengar med ränta (7,5%).

Potjaman must return land, gets refund

The Civil Court on Friday ordered Khunying Potjaman na Pombejra, ex wife of former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, to return four plots of land in the Ratchadapisek area to the Financial Institutions Development Fund (FIDF) after finding the land purchase contract between them was invalid.
The court also ordered the FIDF to return 772 billion baht and pay 7.5 per cent interest retroactively from Nov 25, 2009 when Khunying Potjaman filed suit against the FIDF to return the money.
Khunying Potjaman entered into a contract with the FIDF on Dec 30, 2003 to buy four plots of land totalling 33 rai on Ratchadapisek road in Huay Khwang district.
The court declared the contract null and void because it was made in violation of Article 100 of the National Anti-Corruption Commission Act.
This was based on the fact that on Oct 21, 2008 the Supreme Court's Criminal Division for Holders of Political Positions sentenced Thaksin to two years in prison for abuse of authority by helping his then-wife purchase the land at a discounted price.
The FIDF filed a lawsuit with the Civil Court on Sept 18 last year, asking it to annul the Dec 30, 2003 Ratchadapisek land sale, and order Khunying Potjaman to return the land to the fund.
