Arrest warrants issued for false reports against Big Joke’s wife
Photo courtesy of KhaoSod by Puntid Tantivangphaisal The Bangkok South Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for three individuals, charged with filing false reports against Big Joke’s wife. The incident involves allegations made by 50 year old Sirinadda Hakhapan, the wife of former Deputy Police Chief Police General Surachate Hakparn, aka Big Joke, who reported the matter to Phra Khanong Police Station. The accused include 50 year old Thanatta, known as Ning, 53 year old Phimpot Nomchopphitak, and another witness, all suspected of conspiring to lodge false complaints to implicate others with punitive charges. On November 5, Phra Khanong investigators sought arrest warrants for the suspects after Sirinadda’s complaint. The court, noting the suspects had permanent residences, initially opted for a summons. However, if they failed to appear, the court would consider issuing arrest warrants. The decision to issue warrants for the suspects was finalised yesterday, November 22, prompting further legal proceedings. The court officially issued three arrest warrants with charges including making false statements about criminal acts, carrying a maximum prison sentence of two years, and conspiring to falsely accuse someone to inflict harsher penalties, punishable by up to five years in prison. Sirinadda reported the false allegations against her to the police. “Ning acknowledges the summons following Big Joke’s wife’s complaint, asserting readiness to fight back, comparing it to shooting birds without exhausting ammunition.” The charges stem from an incident reported on October 31, where Sirinadda alleged that the trio falsely reported a criminal offence to the police with the intent to cause severe repercussions, reported KhaoSod.

Thai healthcare tycoon Boon Vanasin flees as fraud charges mount
Image courtesy of Bangkok Post by Mitch Connor Boon Vanasin, the founder of Thonburi Healthcare Group (THG), is currently at large in China while his wife and daughter have surrendered to the police in Thailand. Faced with charges of public fraud, 79 year old Jaruwan Vanasin, and her daughter, 51 year old Nalin, turned themselves in to the police and have denied all allegations against them. The two women chose not to speak to the media when they surrendered. Their lawyer, however, stated that they are denying any involvement in the fraudulent activities attributed to them. They claim their signatures were forged, and they did not sign any cheques related to the alleged schemes. The Metropolitan Police Bureau secured court approval to arrest 86 year old Boon, along with his wife and daughter. Arrest warrants were also issued for six other suspects involved in the case, all of whom were apprehended Saturday, November 23. The investigation accuses the suspects of misleading investors in medical ventures promoted by Boon. Additionally, Boon is alleged to have forged his former daughter-in-law’s signature to secure a loan, resulting in damages estimated at 7.5 billion baht. The Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Boon on charges of public fraud, fraudulent borrowing, money laundering, and issuing bad cheques. Similar charges have been levelled against the other suspects. Between December last year and October this year, 527 complaints were filed against Boon at the Huai Khwang police station by victims who were unable to cash the cheques he issued. Getting away with it Boon leveraged his status as a prominent hospital executive to promote five medical-related projects, including a cancer centre, a wellness centre in Thailand, hospitals in Laos and Vietnam, and a medical intelligence project, attracting substantial investments. The total investment for these projects exceeded 16 billion baht, with investors being promised 700 million baht in profits for last year and 1 billion baht for this year. Although initial payments were made, subsequent payments were missed, causing turmoil for investors attempting to cash their cheques, according to a source familiar with the investigation. Police Major General Noppasin Poonsawat, the deputy commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Bureau, revealed that Boon fled Thailand on September 29, travelling from Bangkok to Hong Kong before proceeding to China. Boon previously clashed with stock market regulators in 2022 for disseminating false information that inflated THG’s share price. In the preceding year, he had also claimed that THG had acquired 20 million doses of Covid-19 vaccines from Pfizer for Thailand, a delivery that never transpired. Yesterday, November 23, police arrested two women linked to Boon’s network at a law firm in Bang Bua Thong district of Nonthaburi. These women, identified as 38 year old Siriwimol and 53 year old Jidapha, face fraud and fraudulent borrowing charges. A Mercedes-Benz was seized from them during the arrest, reported Bangkok Post.

EC persists in Thaksin investigation despite court ruling
Image courtesy of Bangkok Post by Ryan Turner The Election Commission (EC) remains steadfast in its investigation into allegations against former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, focusing on claims of his manipulation of the Pheu Thai Party and interference in the coalition government. This action continues despite the Constitutional Court’s recent decision to dismiss a petition accusing Thaksin and the ruling party of attempting to overthrow Thailand’s constitutional monarchy. EC Secretary-General Sawang Boonmee clarified the situation, highlighting the different laws used in handling the case. “Even though these matters concern the same facts [about Thaksin’s actions], the EC and the court use different laws in the handling of these petitions against Thaksin.” This indicates that while the court’s ruling pertains to constitutional violations, the EC’s inquiry addresses breaches of the organic law on political parties. The court had evaluated Thaksin’s activities under Section 49 of the constitution, which deals with misconduct and the misuse of rights and liberties in ways that might threaten the constitutional monarchy. External manipulation In contrast, the EC’s investigation targets the Pheu Thai Party’s alleged breach of the organic law that prohibits external manipulation, with Thaksin being the alleged outsider. Sawang cited a previous case against the now-dissolved Move Forward Party (MFP) to highlight the EC’s distinct approach. In that instance, while the court considered a petition against the MFP, the EC did not have the jurisdiction to pursue it as it related to allegations of attempting to dismantle the government’s democratic structure. Although the 74 year old former PM has been relieved from the immediate legal challenge following the court’s dismissal of the petition, he still faces two separate legal proceedings. One is the ongoing EC investigation, while the other is a case in the Criminal Court. The first case, overseen by the EC, concerns allegations that the Pheu Thai Party and its coalition partners under the Srettha Thavisin administration consented to Thaksin’s undue influence. This could result in the dissolution of Pheu Thai and its former coalition parties if proven true, as it would violate Section 29 of the organic law on political parties. The allegations stem from a meeting at Thaksin’s Chan Song La residence in Bangkok on August 14, where discussions reportedly took place regarding potential successors for Srettha Thavisin, who was dismissed as prime minister by the Constitutional Court. Moreover, Thaksin is accused of intervening in the selection process for a new prime ministerial candidate following Srettha’s removal. Evidence supporting these claims includes Thaksin’s public statements concerning Pheu Thai’s policies, some of which were presented at a prominent forum on August 22 before being adopted by the coalition. Lese majeste The second case against Thaksin involves a charge under Section 112 of the Criminal Code, commonly known as the lese majeste law. This accusation relates to an interview Thaksin gave in Seoul in 2015, which allegedly contained remarks deemed hostile to the monarchy. In response to these ongoing legal challenges, Pheu Thai’s legal team has announced plans to file a countersuit against lawyer Teerayut Suwankesorn, who was responsible for submitting the case that the court dismissed. This move indicates the party’s intent to challenge the legal actions taken against them, reported Bangkok Post. Soure: The Thaiger -- 2024-11-25- 1
