Thaksin’s son quizzed over alleged charges

THE DEPARTMENT of Special Investigation (DSI) has summoned Panthongtae Shinawatra and three other people allegedly involved in a money-laundering case for questioning later this month.
 

Panthongtae, the son of ex-premier Thaksin Shinawatra, Kanchana and Wanchai Honghern, and Kesinee Jipipop are potentially facing criminal charges in connection with receiving two cheques – one for Bt10 million and the other for Bt26 million – from former top executives of the Krisda Mahanakorn Group.

 

According to the DSI, state-owned Krungthai Bank faced multi-billion-baht financial damages from loans to Krisda Mahanakorn Group that used highly inflated collateral. It is alleged that money from those loans was given illegally to many people and entities.

 

Panthongtae and the three others are required to report to the DSI by October 24. After they are questioned, the agency will decide whether to pursue money-laundering and related charges against them.

 

Money-laundering cases have a 15-year statute of limitations, so the DSI is required to close its investigation by the middle of next year. Earlier, Panthongtae wrote in a Facebook post that he was the victim of a witch-hunt. He argued that more than 200 other people and organisations had received money from Krisda Mahanakorn’s top executives, but they were not being investigated.

No chance mate. Not with Prayuth's spies watching his every move.  :)

More obfuscation and evasion every day. Oak now claims B26 million sent to him and asked to buy shares, which he declined, so sent to mum's stooge. How her husband and mother got involved not explained. At best that sounds like asset concealment and tax evasion, but both payments meet the requirements of Thailand's money laundering laws.

The B10 million sent to Oak for some business deemed "too difficult".

Good point, but be careful you don't get drowned / squashed in a sea of bodies falling from the trees.

'But i was just an honest mistake.'

 

Now where have I heard that line before?

That guy from Red Bull just called him, inviting him over. 

He should have been more cautious and not have accepted money from a company chaired by Meechai Ruchuphan!

Court is ready. Just waiting for the kangaroo to hop in. 

Apples never fall far from the tree.

So if you rob a bank and get caught your defense would be that others rob banks and don't get caught!

 

Whilst selective prosecutions, and prioritizing of cases based on whatever criteria may well happen, it doesn't excuse or defend this crook who seemingly got caught getting a nice payola from one of daddy's scams.

 

Based on the previous convictions and sentences, they better seize his passport and refuse bail if it get's that far or he'll "do a Poo"!
