Super-car importer gets delay in delays

Panusak Techaterasiri or Boy Unity

 

BANGKOK: -- Super-car importer Panusak Techaterasiri, who is also known as Intharasak or “Boy Unity”, on Thursday asked for a postponement in his case until July 21.

 

He was due to appear at the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) to hear the charge against him for falsely declaring the price of luxury cars to avoid high import duties. 

 

His representative said the 36-year-old could not attend to hear the charge at the DSI as he was preoccupied preparing documents to explain himself against the charge.

 

The alleged offence taken place in 2013-2014, said Panusak's representative.

 

DSI chief Pol Colonel Paisit Wongmuang said that Panusak was within his rights to ask for a postponement, which the agency would normally grant an accused person once during the investigation.

 

Paisit also said the Customs Department was slated this month to give the DSI a calculation of unpaid taxes linked to the second batch of 300 luxury cars that had been seized. 

 

Last month, Customs officials informed the DSI that the unpaid taxes linked to the first batch of 30 Lamborghini cars was Bt650 million.

 

Paisit said three accused executives of Niche Cars Group, the country's leading high-end distributor of luxury cars, had already acknowledged the charge of faulty car-import declaration, which was filed based on 28 invoices allegedly carrying faulty information. 

 

The DSI raided Niche Cars Group's showroom in May and seized 60 cars for inspection on suspicion of tax avoidance.

No way! Those seats are reserved for government/police/army officials who will be given the nod when to raise their hand.

just when i thought i had seen the most useless people

Not sure you could slide a fag paper between the antics of Khun Unity and the Auctioneers.

A 36 year old man calling himself "Boy Unity" would be a target.  Also any business that is subject to import duties of 300%, can't be a good business.  It is doubtful anyone in Thailand with money actually pays that though. 

 

Thais do a nice job restoring older automobiles.  Saw a 1960's Chevy Impala with a Toyota V8.  Seen many other vintage cars in Thailand lovingly restored to museum quality.  A testament to Thai patience.  This story is, on the other hand, is about gaudiness and greed. 

Another one waiting for the statute of limitations to expire?

Did the mercedees driver or guys that killed the bread delivery guy ask for a delay????  No sign of their case's

More time needed to stuff and distribute envelopes

there are soooo many to prepare.

Exactly!

Plan 1 : Payoff everyone to make everything go away

Plan 2: Follow Thaksin and the Red Bull guy example and live the  high life abroad with new passports

Plan 3: Consult Dhammajayo how to make yourself invisible

Plan 4: Face justice   This is not an option for a high-so

Good point, 

Someone should be asking How did he manage to get 300 Lambos to his showroom without paying the tax?

If you have cheap (almost free) labour its a huge advantage...
