Bangkok:The Economic Crime Suppression Division (ECSD) has planned to verify the authenticity of handbags seized as part of an ongoing investigation into a charity foundation. Representatives from multiple handbag brands are scheduled to meet tomorrow to inspect the 31 bags in question, following a recent search of the residence of "Boom Panadda" and her close associates, where additional bags believed to be authentic were discovered.
According to Thai News Agency, reports suggesting that the ECSD issued a summons for Mr. Panya Nirankul, the owner of Workpoint Entertainment Co., Ltd., are false. Mr. Nirankul, who donated 5 million baht to the charity foundation, has not been summoned and has expressed his intention not to pursue legal actions based on the donation.
The ECSD is also set to issue summonses to over 10 individuals, including four board members of the Good Deeds Foundation and their close associates, who have been identified as having financial connections. These individuals are expected to appear for questioning in the coming week. Mr. Apiwut Bhumpha, known as "Ongun," a board member and treasurer of the foundation, is among those under scrutiny. Further details on the summonses and the schedule for questioning are anticipated to be clarified soon.
