Bangkok: Police from the Technology Crime Suppression Division (TCSD) have detained Nana Raibeena at the Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) headquarters, where her vehicle and documents were seized as evidence in an ongoing investigation. As Nana was escorted from the police van, she was observed wearing a light-colored cloth, a hat, sunglasses, and a face mask, and refrained from responding to media inquiries.
According to Thai News Agency, Attorney Saiyut Pengbunchu disclosed that Nana has been initially charged under the Emergency Decree on Fraudulent Loans. She is set to appear in court on December 4th, with a bail bond set at 500,000 baht for her release. The situation has caused Nana to express concerns about her child, her job, and the bail process, as this marks her first prosecution experience. She awaits further information from law enforcement regarding the number of victims, the scope of damages, and any potential celebrity involvement.
Preliminary findings indicate that the case centers around borrowing funds from several individuals, promising interest rates above the legal threshold, but failing to honor the repayment agreements. This case is distinct from “The Icon” incident and is not classified as a pyramid scheme. Lawyer Saiyut also highlighted that on December 1st, Nana attempted to surrender at the CIB, but TCSD officers declined to accept her surrender or proceed with any action, emphasizing that Nana had no intention of evading legal proceedings.
