Bangkok: Lawyers are raising questions regarding the arrest of “Nana Raibeena,” following actions taken by the Economic Crime Suppression Division (ECD). Nana, whose real name is Raibeena Intachai, was apprehended at her residence in the Phra Khanong area under charges related to defrauding the public by borrowing money under the Emergency Decree and fraud.
According to Thai News Agency, Nana’s lawyer, Saiyut Pengbunchu, revealed that the initial charges against her involve fraud under the Emergency Decree on Loans to the Public. Following her arrest, Nana will be taken to the Central Investigation Bureau to record her arrest and undergo questioning before being remanded in custody in court. She has posted a 500,000 baht bail to be addressed in court.
Nana reportedly expressed concerns regarding her children, her bail situation, and her work commitments, reflecting the apprehensions of someone who has never previously faced prosecution. Details about the number of victims, the involvement of any celebrities
, and the total damages remain unclear. The case initially appears to involve borrowing money from multiple individuals with promises of interest rates exceeding legal limits, which were ultimately not honored.
It is important to highlight that Nana attempted to surrender at the Central Investigation Bureau on December 1st, showing her willingness to cooperate with the justice system. Despite this, the Technology Crime Suppression Division (TCSD) did not accept her surrender, leading to her arrest on December 2nd after an arrest warrant was requested and issued. Saiyut questioned the necessity of the arrest warrant, as Nana had already demonstrated her willingness to face the charges, suggesting that the issuance of the warrant and subsequent arrest might have been unnecessary and a strain on police resources.
