Thaksin to return from exile

The Manchester City owner Thaksin Shinawatra is expected to return from exile to Thailand tomorrow in an attempt to clear his name.

"I think and I believe that Thaksin will return on the 28th," said the Thai foreign minister Noppadon Pattama of the country's former prime minister, who was ousted in a bloodless 2006 coup and is wanted on a corruption charge relating to his wife's purchase of a prime piece of Bangkok real estate while in office.
