Where is Thaksin146;s cash?

The panel could freeze and ultimately seize assets if it finds Thaksin and his family8212;worth 2.2 billion according to Forbes magazine8212;and cabinet colleagues abused power to benefit themselves or others.

As investigators dig into Thaksin8217;s finances, rumours about the whereabouts of his millions abound. Earlier this week, there were reports of two planes ferrying more than 100 large suitcases for Thaksin8217;s foreign trip before the September 19 coup.

The air force and Thai Airways have denied there was anything unusual about the flights.

8220;Does any bank in the world still accept cash in suitcases for deposit? Maybe Cuba,8221; said Korn Chatikavanij, member of the opposition Democrat Party. 8220;Whatever might have been in those cases, the reality is that the bulk of his assets are still here,8221; said Korn.
