Bangkok Special Prison has opened its doors for the first time to relatives of 11 male bosses from “The Icon Group”, reporting improved mental states with reduced stress levels.
On October 24, 2024, a news update indicated that the atmosphere outside Bangkok Special Prison, where the 11 suspects are detained, has changed. The 11 detainees, known as “bosses,” include:
1. Mr. Warattanapol Waratyawarakul (Boss Paul)
2. Mr. Knot Setthanan (Boss Peter)
3. Mr. Thananon Hiranchaiwan (Boss Doctor Ek)
4. Mr. Nantharat Chaowanpreecha (Boss Om)
5. Mr. Thawinpats Phupattanarint (Boss Win)
6. Mr. Chatchanakkhat Apipattanakan (Boss Tommy)
7. Mr. Patsayanant Ekchisanupong (Boss Pop)
8. Mr. Jirawat Saengphakdi (Coach Lab)
9. Mr. Thanaroj Thitijariyawach (Boss Off)
10. Mr. Kan Kantathaworn (Boss Kant)
11. Mr. Yuranan Phamornmontree (Boss Sam)
These individuals have been under quarantine for COVID-19 since October 18, and today marks the end of that period, allowing relatives to visit.
At 10:30 AM, Mr. Witthaya Kengkan, attorney for Boss Paul, confirmed via phone that he brought documents to report an incident involving an employee of The Icon Group being questioned by police, which included confiscation of a mobile phone and allegations against a female singer. He indicated that he may go to the police headquarters later today.
When asked about the presence of other bosses’ lawyers or relatives, Mr. Witthaya noted that he was aware of Boss Paul’s secretary and sister visiting at 10:10 AM. However, he was unsure about the other bosses.
Ms. Kanokwan Jiewchueapan, Director of the Correctional Division, reported that all bosses were adjusting well, with reduced anxiety and no reported illnesses.
Today was the first visiting day for the male bosses after their COVID-19 quarantine, and they will be relocated to a controlled area where they will stay in rooms of 2-3, though specific details about the location will not be disclosed for safety reasons.
The female bosses who completed their COVID-19 quarantine on October 22 have also been moved to the appropriate locations. Due to privacy, details of the visits remain confidential as the inmates did not consent to public disclosure.
