Napapa “Patt” Tantrakul

 

BANGKOK: -- Actress Napapa “Patt” Tantrakul will not face an additional charge under the Measures for Suppression of Narcotic Offenders Act that the Narcotics Suppression Bureau (NSB) tried to file against her, according to the Office of the Narcotics Control Board (ONCB) chief Sirinya Sitdhichai.

 

Napapa will still face a previously-filed charge of conspiracy to launder money in relation to funds that her husband, Akarakit “Benz Racing” Worarojcharoendet, had transferred to her, Sirinya said on Tuesday.

 

Sirinya explained that because the ONCB viewed that Napapa did not join with her husband in the wrongdoing and the fact that Akarakit had wired the Bt1.9 million to Napapa on 10 occasions during the time of her pregnancy, left a reasonable doubt on whether she had the intention of taking assets to accommodate wrongdoing or help prevent a wrongdoer from getting caught. 

 

As for the NSB's suggestion to seize her assets, the ONCB said that the actress had already submitted the money that Akarakit had wired to her to the authority. It was previously reported that Napapa could explain the origins of all her assets except for the Bt1.9 million.

 

The NSB on Monday submitted the case report against Akarakit to public prosecutors, who will decide whether to indict him for laundering money on behalf of alleged Lao drug kingpin Xaysana Keopimpa, plus additional counts under the Measures for Suppression of Narcotic Offenders Act. 

 

Akarakit's Lamborghini sports car and big bikes were seized as it was suspected that they were bought by money from Natthapol Nakkham, a suspect connected to Xaysana’s network, who has already been arrested, and authorities were still waiting for his explanation on the origin of the assets, Sirinya said.

unlikely to be convicted on any charges

I think people should take a step back before they get angry at this. These charges are not even that serious. It's not as if she was picking mushrooms. 

[Get Real]

It´s simple! The money should off course be seen as child support. What´s the fuzz?

"Akarakit had wired the Bt1.9 million to Napapa on 10 occasions "

10 occasions,I think she knew exactly what was going on and was

part of it.

So, you're incapable of criminality during pregnancy.....interesting.

[YetAnother]

the logic sounds solid enough

1,900,000 / 10 = 190,000 each transfer. Peanuts.

 

the judge will meet privately with the defendant in my chambers before passing sentence.

 

next case.

What do Napapa and Helen of Troy have in common??

[Stargeezr]

Rich people justice in Thailand, how nice that it is so different than the justice given to most of the Thai People. Shameful actually.

Ah the face dear boy the face. Napapa has an appealing lovely face. I suspect that each extra year that I tack on it would look even better yet. I also think she has the BIB all in smiles maybe its to big a stretch to make my point. Win some loose some.
