Yes, således blev hon både åtalad och fälld för maktmissbruk under det att hon var PM, dvs när Shinawatras satt vid makten.
Visst, men jag tycker det var ett vakuum i maktfrågan då parlamentet verkligen gick på sparlåga och var tämligen tandlöst.
Små detaljer bara

Bangkok—Former Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra on Friday said the junta that overthrew her government had ordered her to pay nearly $1 billion in civil damages over a botched rice-subsidy program.
Speaking to reporters outside a Bangkok court, Ms. Yingluck said she intends to file a petition seeking to overturn the ruling.
Ms. Yingluck is currently on trial for alleged mishandling of the program she introduced in 2011, which bought rice from farmers at up to double the prevailing market price. Her government said at the time that it was an attempt to steer global prices higher and boost rural incomes.
The program was popular among many poorer Thais, but ultimately failed when other major producers such as India and Vietnam stepped up production, leaving Thailand with losses that officials have estimated at $15 billion.
Prosecutors accuse Ms. Yingluck of criminal negligence for failing to address allegations of corruption in the program. She has denied any wrongdoing and, if convicted, faces up to 10 years in prison. Ms. Yingluck is the younger sister of one of her predecessors, former telecommunications tycoon Thaksin Shinawatra.
Ms. Yingluck said Friday she had received formal notice of the damages order Wednesday. In 2015, Ms. Yingluck, 49, declared assets valued at just over $17 million.
“The whole process has been unfair since the beginning,” Ms. Yingluck said, adding that her prosecution could deter future governments from attempting to address the gaping income disparity between rural and urban Thais, which is among the largest in Asia.
“If we have to think about profit and loss, then the next government will find it harder to take care of the people and farmers. There might not be many more measures introduced from now on,” she said.

Wikipedia:
Price fixing is an agreement between participants on the same side in a market to buy or sell a product, service, or commodity only at a fixed price, or maintain the market conditions such that the price is maintained at a given level by controlling supply and demand.
In the United States, price fixing can be prosecuted as a criminal federal offense under section 1 of the Sherman Antitrust Act.[2]
In Canada, it is an indictable criminal offense under section 45 of the Competition Act. Bid rigging is considered a form of price fixing and is illegal in both the United States (s.1 Sherman Act) and Canada (s.47 Competition Act).
Price fixing is illegal in Australia under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010
New Zealand law prohibits price fixing, among most other anti-competitive behaviours under the Commerce Act 1986.
Under the EU commission's leniency programme, whistleblowing firms that co-operate with the anti-trust authority see their prospective penalties either wiped out or reduced.[15]
British competition law prohibits almost any attempt to fix prices

Tja, enligt ryktet är hon inte någon speciellt slug person. Nästan tragiskt att hon inte ens verkar ha förstått vad hon står åtalad för. Man tycker att hon borde ha råd med en advokat som kunde förklara saken för henne.

Vore det lite stake i hennes bror så borde han erkänna att det är han som ligger bakom detta,men f-n trot,han står ju inte för något brott han begått.Att offra sin egen syster är så lågt så det finns inte,vicken maktgalen egoist han är.
hej, ris-möte nästa vecka om det dåliga priset på ris på världsmarknaden. 29/10 http://englishnews.thaipbs.or.th/rice-committee-to-meet-next-week-to-discuss-rice-price-slump/ mvh
hej, visselblåsaren Warong vill nu att JUNTAN skall skyndsamt rädda bl.a risbönderna i denna art 29/10 http://englishnews.thaipbs.or.th/government-told-to-quickly-come-to-farmers-rescue/ mvh
hej, mycket oroliga ris-bönder när rispriset fallit. http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/general/1123141/rice-farmers-despair-amid-low-prices mvh
Frugans bröder får 1000 baht i risstöd av kommunen varje år för den mark vi (frugan) äger.
Kul för dom.

Det är den starka thailändska valutan som gör att man får ett mindre värde av den utländska valutan vid export.
Detta tillsammans med högre mekanisering och fördelar vid stordrift i stora risproducerande länder som sänker världsmarknadspriset globalt sett.
Det småskaliga risbruket är dödsdömt, men duger förstås för egen konsumtion.

Men som exportör hamnar Thailand i topp.
Below are the 15 countries that exported the highest dollar value worth of rice during 2015:
I ton räknat hamnar Thailand i överst, som tyder på att Thailands ris är av billigare sort,
Thailand är mycket mer exportberoende än andra länder på listorna.
Dåliga priser på ris? Det är ju skitenkelt att fixa! Man låter bara staten köpa in allt riset och lägger det på lager. Gärna till höga överpriser. Då blir det brist på ris i hela världen och då går priset upp. Då säljer man! Fiffigt va?
Eller, näe, det där är visst testat redan och det funkade inte.
Detta är en del av baksmällan från det fullkomligt galna stödet till en industri som MÅSTE strukturrationaliseras för att bli internationellt konkurrenskraftig igen. Risstödet har fördröjt den nödvändiga processen och bönderna sitter bara förlamade och hoppas på manna från himlen igen. Det duger inte att hobbyodla om man skall konkurrera!
