[DUBAI] Former Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra was in Dubai but left for London on Sept 11, a source in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) said on Thursday.

The source spoke after the leader of Thailand's military junta said that Shinawatra, the prime minister he ousted three years ago, was in Dubai, having fled there last month to avoid being jailed over a rice subsidy scheme that lost billions of dollars.
