Crime Luxury Cars and Assets Seized in Icon Group Case Investigation
Picture courtesy of Daily News Authorities have confiscated luxury cars and branded goods worth a total of 146 million baht for investigation in the Icon Group fraud case. On 25th June, the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) reported the seizure of assets from the Icon Group case. This involved 35 luxury cars, jewellery, watches, designer bags, and various properties, all suspected to be linked to fraudulent activities. These items have been transferred to the Thailand Anti-Money Laundering Office (AMLO) for further inspection. The case concerns charges against the Icon Group and its associates for public fraud and money laundering, stemming from investigations related to consumer protection violations. Following orders to confiscate additional assets linked to these offences, the DSI and Consumer Protection Police have handed over 281 items, including vehicles and luxury goods, to AMLO. Progress has also been made in the investigation of real estate assets tied to money laundering charges. Properties including land and buildings, estimated at 146 million baht, have been identified and reported to AMLO for evaluation and further action.

Crossing into Laos with Vehicle – Any Issues?
If you have the blue book your next move is to get the purple car passport. A few pieces of paper at the border but no problem. I have heard right hand drive vehicles are not allowed into Vietnam but have never had this confirmed by someone that was refused entry. -

Crime Police Raid in 3 Provinces Uncovers Chinese Nominee Firm in Heavy Machinery Rental Scheme
Picture courtesy of Khaosod In a coordinated operation across three provinces, police have raided the premises of a suspected Chinese nominee firm involved in the illicit rental of heavy machinery, uncovering a complex network of financial deception, nominee shareholders and suspected tax evasion. Under the command of Pol Maj Gen Tasanapoom Jaruprachya, officers from the Economic Crime Suppression Division (ECD) executed court-approved search warrants on three sites: the company’s headquarters in Bangkok, a branch in Nava Nakorn, Ayutthaya Province and another in Rayong Province. Authorities seized a large cache of documents including: • A company registration certificate • Stock inventory records • Import and domestic lease documents • Delivery and return slips for rental equipment • Vehicle documentation • Financial statements and auditor’s reports • Six bank account books • Nine company seals Three individuals were taken into custody: Mr. Wei, a 38-year-old Chinese national, along with Ms. Punnada, 42 and Ms. Nattarada, 39, both Thai nationals. All face charges under the Foreign Business Act of 1999, which restricts foreign ownership and control of certain business sectors without proper authorisation. According to police, the company operated by fronting Thai employees as directors and shareholders, while Chinese investors secretly controlled the business. The enterprise allegedly specialised in importing and leasing heavy machinery such as cranes and forklifts, which were advertised through social media platforms like Facebook. Investigations revealed that the company functioned as a holding entity, with no real operational activities, yet was tied to a web of related firms sharing the same shareholder structure, board members and financial flows. The two Thai shareholders, both employed by the company, were found to have no active role in management and likely did not invest their own funds. Authorities have traced over 50 million baht in investment capital transferred from Chinese financiers and discovered over 500 million baht in account transactions. Documentation linked the firm to more than 250 units of heavy machinery sourced both domestically and internationally. Despite denying all allegations, the suspects have been handed over to investigators from the ECD’s 4th Subdivision for legal proceedings. Interviews with employees and Thai shareholders further confirmed that Chinese nationals were effectively managing the operation. Moreover, QR codes linked to employee accounts were reportedly used to receive rental payments, raising serious concerns about personal income tax evasion. The investigation remains ongoing, with further scrutiny expected into related entities and individuals involved in the suspected nominee network. Adapted by Asean Now from Khoasod 2025-06-26 -
