Former PM Yingluck Shinawatra has fled Thailand, sources say, ahead of a verdict in her trial over a rice subsidy scheme.
Her lawyers told the court she had been unable to attend because she was ill.
But when she failed to appear, the court issued an arrest warrant for her and confiscated her bail.
Sources in her party say she made the decision to leave unexpectedly, shortly before she was due to appear at the Supreme Court on negligence charges.
