Thai court orders Thaksin Shinawatra must serve one year in jail

BANGKOK (Reuters) -Thailand’s Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled billionaire Thaksin Shinawatra must serve one year in jail, in another major blow for a powerful family that has dominated politics for two decades.

Police would take Thaksin into custody, a Reuters reporter who attended the verdict said.
