“Ajirya” teams up with “Lawyer Tum” to reunite and expose a popular channel actor over a direct sales scandal similar to “The Icon”. They have stated that if the accused parties do not provide an explanation, they will assist victims in filing a police complaint.
On October 23, 2024, Mr. Ajirya Ruangrattanapong, president of the Crime Victims Assistance Club, visited Sittra Law Firm led by Lawyer Tum Sitra Biabungkeud. The two, who previously had a falling out, have decided to work together again. Lawyer Tum recounted knowing Mr. Ajirya since late 2017 while sharing information to aid a lottery case, but a misunderstanding led to a public feud.
Mr. Ajirya mentioned that it was time to stop their disputes, especially given ongoing corruption within the government. He compared their reconciliation to that of long-time rivals Thaksin Shinawatra and Newin Chidchob, who ultimately found common ground.
This collaboration aims to unveil key figures in the ‘The Icon Group’ scandal, including actors involved in fraud, where complaints have been made regarding inappropriate financial demands. Mr. Ajirya claims to have insights on an individual involved for over six years and plans to expose a network connected to prominent politicians and entertainers who allegedly mislead victims into investment schemes with false promises.
Moreover, they intend to reveal a network purportedly linked to a member of the Pheu Thai Party and other well-known personalities who lure investors with offers of luxury trips, gold giveaways, and cosmetic surgeries, similar to ‘The Icon.’ There is also a claim that products marketed as imports from South Korea are actually produced locally in Pathum Thani province.
If the accused parties fail to acknowledge these claims after today’s disclosures, Mr. Ajirya plans to assist victims in filing complaints by November 4. Lawyer Tum expressed concerns from his peers about Mr. Ajirya’s trustworthiness in the future but was reassured by his commitment to no longer engage in media assaults.
In related comments, Deputy Commissioner Pol. Gen. Jaruenkiat Pan-ngaew stated that he hasn’t encountered “angels,” hinting at the dubiousness of claims regarding asset transfers to cryptocurrencies. Lawyer Tum mentioned earlier accusations against an individual from the necessary investigations but confirmed that any evidence in their possession would require validation before proceeding.
