The government will pay a 20-million-euro to secure the release of a royal jet that was impounded at a German airport last month, outgoing Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya said.
He made the announcement a day after His Royal Highness Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn had announced plans on Monday to use his private funds to pay the bond for his personal Boeing 737. The plane was impounded at Munich airport on July 11.
"The government will pay the 20-million-euro bond itself, to make clear that the crown prince has no involvement in the case which is between the government and a private company," Kasit said.
