Tbh, I don’t see any specific mention in the charges about nominees being used to own the companies. They are still investigating so maybe that will come later. But it seems current charges are focused on working without a work permit and operating business without the proper licenses. It’s possible that this case got swept up into the current nominee company shareholders initiative to make that one look like it’s getting results. But, as I said, maybe the nominee shareholder charges will come later. “following complaints regarding possible unlawful business operations and employment of foreign nationals. Investigators found that a group of companies operating in the Ban Na Tai-Khao Pilai area of Takua Thung district may have allowed foreign nationals to conduct business or work without the required legal permissions. Authorities also suspected the companies of operating hotel businesses without licences.” “During the operation, officers arrested a man, identified by authorities as Andrew Parkhouse, 77, a British national, on a charge of being a foreigner permitted to stay temporarily in Thailand but working without authorisation. A company involved also faces legal action for employing a foreign worker without a valid work permit.”
