In the ongoing iCon Group case, a total of 2,170 victims have filed complaints over nine days, with reported damages exceeding 841 million Baht. Authorities have seized assets worth B210 million, including 24 vehicles, 51 luxury watches, branded bags, and cash.

 

On 18th October, Deputy Commissioner of the Central Investigation Bureau, Pol. Maj. Gen. Sopon Sarapat, announced that the police are continuing to collect evidence. Investigators are coordinating with economic crime specialists to trace digital assets involved in the fraud.


The Deputy Commissioner mentioned that charges could be expanded depending on further evidence, and assets are being thoroughly investigated. Some items have been moved, potentially leading to money laundering charges. Additionally, authorities are examining any use of nominees pretending to be victims.

 

If the case qualifies as a special investigation, it may be transferred to the Department of Special Investigation (DSI). Currently, no money laundering charges have been brought against the 18 suspects, but investigations are ongoing with the involvement of the Attorney General’s Office and the Food and Drug Administration.

 

Investigations also continue into bribery allegations linked to politicians, overseen by Pol. Maj. Gen. Jaroonkiat Pankaew. Further updates are expected, reported Siam Rath.
