THAILAND'S fugitive former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra's 110 million baht (S$4.6 million) mansion in Bangkok is among more than 30 of her assets that have been confiscated to pay the compensation demanded from her for damages stemming from her government's rice-pledging scheme.

This is according to her lawyer Noppadon Laothong, who was quoted in a report published in The Nation on Wednesday.
