Former Thai PM Yingluck Shinawatra Acquitted in Financial Mismanagement Case

The Supreme Court's decision marks a significant legal victory for the Shinawatra family, fueling speculation about Yingluck's potential return to Thailand.

Thailand's Supreme Court acquitted former Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra of mishandling funds for a government project in 2013.
The ruling marks the latest legal victory for the Shinawatra family, following Thaksin Shinawatra's release on parole after over a decade in exile.
Yingluck, now living in exile, was Thailand's first female prime minister and faces no remaining charges in Thailand.
Speculation grows that Yingluck might return to Thailand, a possibility contingent on receiving a pardon or other form of clemency.
Thaksin Shinawatra remains in legal jeopardy, facing potential charges of royal defamation that could lead to 15 years in prison.
