Thai Court Sets 2026 Pretrial Hearings for iCon Fraud Accusations
Picture courtesy: MGR online In a significant development in the iCon Group fraud case, the Ratchada Criminal Court in Bangkok has scheduled pretrial hearings to begin in 2026. The court announced on Monday that it will review the evidence and witness lists of both the prosecution and the defence in this high-profile fraud case involving the founder and CEO of iCon Group, Warathaphon “Boss Paul” Waratyaworrakul, and 16 other co-defendants. The Department of Special Investigation (DSI) is leading the prosecution against the defendants, who are charged with public fraud, fraudulent borrowing, operating an illegal direct sales business, amongst other related offences. Warathaphon and his associates are currently being held at the Bangkok Remand Prison and the Central Women's Correctional Institution. They were present in court for this week’s announcement. The DSI plans to present a robust case, bringing forward 41 documents and calling upon 24 witnesses to testify. These witnesses include police and DSI officials directly involved with the investigation, officers from the Department of Business Development who authorised the company's registration, bank representatives, and those closely connected to the defendants. The court has agreed to review the prosecution's evidence over six sessions, with dates set for February 18-20 and March 10-12, 2026. For the defence, 11 witnesses have been proposed, including three defendants and their legal representatives. Notably, Sitra Biabungkerd, a former Member of Parliament and now the group's lawyer, as well as Witoon Kengngam and representatives of donation recipients, will be called to support the defence's case. The defence has been granted three sessions to present their case, scheduled for March 31, April 2, and April 3, 2026. The proceedings are being closely watched given the scale and impact of the alleged fraud. If found guilty, the defendants could face severe penalties, considering the extensive nature of the allegations. The iCon Group case has drawn significant public and media attention due to its high stakes and the involvement of high-profile individuals within Thai society. Keeping abreast of this case is crucial as it unfolds, with developments possibly providing insights into the operations of fraudulent schemes and legal measures implemented to tackle them. Such cases underscore the importance of regulatory compliance in business, the role of vigilant legal systems, and the consequences of corporate malpractice in Thailand, where the conversion of 1 USD currently stands at roughly 37 Thai Baht, reported Bangkok Post. -- 2025-03-25 -
