Yingluck targets fake FB profiles

Yingluck targets fake FB profiles

A lawyer for ex-prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra has filed a complaint with police after her name was used to register many fake Facebook accounts.

Several Facebook pages named "Yingluck Shinawatra" are not real, Ms Yingluck said on Monday, warning netizens against visiting the sites or being persuaded to take part in business and non-business activities.

The sister of ousted prime minister Thaksin posted the warning on her real Facebook account and vowed to take legal action against the people behind the fake ones.

"I've already had my lawyer complain to the police to start a probe into the wrongdoing," wrote Ms Yingluck, also a fugitive who fled in September 2017 to evade a court verdict on the rice-pledging scheme in which she was found guilty in absentia and given a five-year jail term.
