BBC News 19 August 2008...
"Mr Thaksin was overthrown in a military coup in September 2006.
After 18 months of self-imposed exile, he returned to Thailand in February, vowing to fight the charges against him and clear his name.
But on 31 July his wife was convicted of tax evasion and sentenced to three years in jail. Analysts say that the couple feared further cases could go against them and decided it was time to leave the country."
i.e. "Yeah I want to defend myself... but not if I might be proved wrong, found guilty and sentenced."
