On October 16, 2024, police from the Central Investigation Bureau apprehended Warat Phol Warathayaworakult, also known as “Boss Paul,” during his appearance at the Office of the Consumer Protection Board (OCPB). After a 15-minute explanation session with OCPB investigators, approximately 30 police officers presented an arrest warrant to Boss Paul.
The police informed the media that the warrant pertains to allegations of fraud and violations of the Computer Crimes Act involving false data. They requested journalists not to crowd the area while taking Boss Paul into custody, but further details of the case were not disclosed.
As Boss Paul exited the meeting room, police formally arrested him, read the details of the warrant, and proceeded to escort him to the Central Investigation Bureau.
When reporters attempted to ask Boss Paul about potential compensation for victims and ways to restore credibility with his team, he remained silent, without offering any response. The police then moved to push through the gathering journalists, leading him to a vehicle for departure.
