Ousted prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra will be arrested if he returns to the country, Samphan Sarathana of the attorney general's office.
"The police have to comply with arrest warrants which have already been issued by the courts," he said.
Thaksin, forced from power by a military coup more than a year ago, said on Tuesday he was considering returning home from exile.
He announced this after the party he backed, People Power Party, emerged from weekend general elections with the largest number of seats in parliament.
But Samphan said the results of the election had no bearing on the legal cases against the former prime minister.
"The case has gone too far for a reversal," he said.
