On October 17, 2024, attorney Widhoon Kaengkan visited Worratphon Waratyawarakul, known as Boss Paul, who was arrested the previous day. The attorney stated that Boss Paul is not concerned about the possibility of not being granted bail, viewing it merely as a change of sleeping arrangements and affirming his commitment to continue with life while instructing to take care of his mother and child. He maintains confidence in the facts and evidence presented.
Widhoon reported that Boss Paul continues to deny all charges and insists on his previous statements made on October 12. Although police have opposed bail, Widhoon has prepared a bail application for all 18 defendants, asserting that they have not exhibited intentions to flee. Instead, they have regularly reported to authorities since the initial statement on October 12, demonstrating their willingness to cooperate, even bringing records to support their claims regarding the arrest circumstances. The bail funds are acquired through borrowing from friends because Boss Paul’s account has been frozen, but he remains unfazed by the possibility of not being granted bail.
Furthermore, the attorney is yet to disclose specific defense strategies but expresses confidence in the truth and the evidence backing them. Throughout the previous night, Widhoon stayed with Boss Paul until he was escorted to his sleeping quarters, noting that Boss Paul was not anxious or alarmed, acknowledging that everyone is performing their duties and is prepared to enter the judicial process. He did not have any special requests to make, other than for his mother and child to be looked after. Regarding company matters, Widhoon was unaware of the specifics but mentioned Boss Paul had conversations with other defendants who appeared to be in a good state.
