Thaksin Taxes...Ouch

Ex-PM Thaksin's wife, Pojaman Shinawatra, was found guilty of evading millions of dollars in taxes on Thursday. She was sentenced to three years in jail, but remains free on bail pending her appeal. Her brother and secretary were also found guilty and sentenced to prison time.

This is certainly not good news for PM Thaksin. Not only will he be deprived of the company and affection of his wife should her appeal fail, but he is also facing criminal charges of his own regarding his financial dealings.
