Appeals Court confirms 2 years jail sentence to Danish resort manager

The Appeals Court on Koh Samui convicted yesterday 21 March 2024 the Danish former resort manager Stig Wulff and his wife to two years and five months in prison for fraud in connection with the transfer of shares in the resort, in which the Dane was previously a managing director, from himself and his British partner to his wife.

 

The sentence was a confirmation of the sentence which the Criminal Court on Koh Samui first metered out to the Danish-Thai couple. In Thailand, when the lower court and the appeals court reach the same verdict, the case can under normal circumstances not be appealed once again.

 

The court permitted, however, the lawyer of the Dane, Suwatchai Sawasdi, to post bail for his release during the time until the second case against the Dane will be finished in court next month. While the first case was a criminal case, this second case is a civil lawsuit in which the former partner of the Danish man demands compensation from the Dane and his wife for losing the ownership of their Koh PhangAn property to a local loan shark after they had transferred all the shares to the wife.

Wondering what he will do in the meantime?

Make a runner?

I would ask Thaksin or Yingluck how they escaped and left the country.

Without a passport maybe difficult?😳

I wonder if this has any connection with the Samui property scandals  of about 15 years ago which again involved a number of Danish people.

In every case theirs a winner & loser.

The winner - his wife........she gets off scot-free & keeps whatever Shes gained.  

The loser - Stigs Partner....... he's been conned & lost his assets.

That just leaves Stig. He probably succumbed to his wife's patter and did what was asked. Hès not the first & won't be the last to get set-up by his wife. (my opinion only).      

I wonder if the wife's got rid of the loot already
