Minister of the Prime Minister’s Office, Jiraporn Sinthuprai, has responded to allegations of fraudulent practices linked to “The iCon Group” and the search for a figure known as the “NACC Angel.” She assured that Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra has made this case a priority, directing all related agencies to act swiftly.

 

Since October 10, the Royal Thai Police (RTP) and the Anti-Money Laundering Office (AMLO) have been handling complaints, initiating asset seizures and account freezes in connection with the case.

 

More than 9,000 complaints have been submitted, with damages exceeding 2 billion baht. With the criteria met, the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) has officially taken over, with data support from the Office of the Consumer Protection Board (NACC).

 

Minister Jiraporn clarified that the term “NACC Angel” emerged from an audio recording suggesting a possible settlement. She assured the public of a thorough investigation, with Deputy Prime Minister Prasert Chantararuangthong overseeing the case, supported by an independent committee for transparency.

 

The committee, which includes representatives from the Office of the Attorney General, AMLO, DSI, and RTP, is tasked with completing its investigation within 30 days.

 

Two subcommittees have also been established: one to examine the facts and another to review legal limitations related to direct sales and multi-level marketing.

 

The government, under Minister Jiraporn’s direction, is also reviewing the Direct Sales and Direct Marketing Act to strengthen regulations. Additionally, the NACC is exploring technological measures to improve monitoring and prevent future cases of public fraud, reported NNT.

Well, in this context it simply means we see right through their lies.

with that amount of money involved  ? don't make me laugh,     she is another who arrogantly  believes everyone else is  as stupid as herself.   This will drag on for a long time, and most of that time will be spent deciding who gets what.    

As is usual here by the time it gets to court it won't even get reported, just how they like it.

 

I predict the transparency will be thickly coated ith 2,5 particulate matter......

Sounds like the brown envelopes have already been handed out.
