Lese majeste suspect surrenders
The Sunday Nation

BANGKOK: -- Chao Phraya Express Boat Co managing director and former Navy officer Parinya Rakwathin, who was wanted for lese majeste, surrendered to police yesterday.

Parinya is allegedly linked to a debt-collecting racket that allegedly cited the monarchy when carrying out its crimes.

Meanwhile, an informed source reported that Pathum Thani's Khlong Luang police yesterday morning apprehended ice-making businesswoman Nuanrat Hengkitcharoenlert, 48, who was wanted for her alleged role in having her ice-making rival at a Pathum Thani wholesale market threatened by the monarchy-citing debt-collecting racket.

Metropolitan Police Bureau Lt-General Sriwara Rangsipram-manakul said Parinya initially confessed to being linked to the wanted billionaire businessman Nopporn Suppipat and the racketeering suspect Chakan Phakphum.

Sriwara declined to give further details as the investigation was ongoing.

He said Parinya would be detained by Wat Phaya Krai police before being brought to the Military Court tomorrow.

Acting Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) chief Lt-General Prawut Thavornsiri said Nuanrat's group was linked to and operated similarly to the alleged debt-collecting racket run by Chakan.

Chakan's group allegedly cited the monarchy when committing its offences in the jurisdiction of Wat Phaya Krai police.

Chakan is reportedly related to disgraced former CIB chief Lt-General Pongpat Chayaphan.

Meanwhile, the police hunt for billionaire Nopporn - wanted over the alleged abduction and intimidation of someone he owed Bt120 million - was ongoing yesterday.

Prawut affirmed that there had been no report of Nopporn having fled to Canada and there were no more leads as to his whereabouts.

"Ice making racket" at a wholesale market? Never ceases to amaze what goes on.

Hmmm... could have been an "ice" making racket.... now that would be an "Amazing Thailand" "Bringing Happiness to the People" "Sharing Thainess" wholesale market to raid!!!
