"Just in case someone doesn't remember, before 2001 elections Thaksin bragged on national TV about buying that Alpine land for a good price. Later it was discovered that the land wasn't included in the list of his assets and that led to the infamous 2001 trial where Thaksin pleaded he made an "honest mistake" of transferring ownership of this land and lots of other assets and money to his domestic staff. Then judges manipulated votes on two rulings to acquit him and that case was pinpointed as the beginning of Thai recent political struggles by Kaset's Truth and Reconciliation commission. Kaset was one of the founders of Thai Rak Thai.
