webfact Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Police poised to seize 20 supercars over links to drug-trafficking network By The Nation BANGKOK: --POLICE ARE preparing to seize more than 20 supercars for examination on suspicion that they might be related to ill-gotten gains from drug trafficking. “We are in the process of gathering evidence,” Narcotics Suppression Bureau (NSB) chief Pol Lt-General Sommai Kongwisaisuk said yesterday. “Each of these vehicles is worth more than Bt20 million.” Police have already taken custody of a Lamborghini Gallardo SuperLeggera, which the famous motorcycle racer Akarakit “Benz Racing” Worarojcharoendet claimed belonged to him. Pol Maj-General Chatree Paisansilp, a deputy chief of the NSB, said Akarakit’s information contradicted the statement of Nattapon Nakkam, who was arrested earlier this month for allegedly facilitating a drug-trafficking ring connected to high-profile Lao man Xaysana Keopimpha.

Are such seizures confirmed by prosecutions, are they returned, or perhaps "otherwise disposed off?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webfact Posted February 8, 2017 Author Share Posted February 8, 2017 Narcotic suppression police to seize over 20 luxury cars suspected to link to Xaysana drug syndicate BANGKOK: -- Narcotic Suppression Bureau and Anti-Money Laundering Office authorities are now in the process of tracing the owners of more than 20 luxury vehicles they believed to be connected to the Laotion drug kingpin Xaysana Kaewpimpa syndicate as investigation into the real owner of the Lamborghini sports car turned to be "Boy" Nattapol Nak-udom, not "Benz Racing" or Akarakit Worarojchroendet, a well-known car racer and husband of TV star Napapa “Pat” Tantrakul. The Laotian drug kingpin Xaysana who was arrested at Suvarnabhumi airport last month was suspected to launder drug money in the luxury car business. The tracing of these suspecious luxury cars in several provinces surfaced after police remain skeptical about claim by Benz Racing that he owned the Lamborghini car. Benz claimed he borrowed 6 million baht from Boy to buy the car. Narcotic suppression police are awaiting for Benz to produce borrowing document to prove his claim. But so far he still could not validate his claim. Boy was arrested on drug charge and was a key member of the Xaysana drug trafficking syndicate in Thailand. Questioning of Boy revealed that he is the real owner of the Lamborghini car but used Benz Racing as official owner because he has arrest warrant issued by the police thus has to use the name of other to buy the car. Narcotic police invited former MP of the Pheu Thai Party Phai Lik, alais as ‘Phai One-Point’, a used luxury car dealer for questioning yesterday about the Lamborghini car after his name was found to get involved in the car purchase deal.
