On October 18, 2024, “Boss Paul” (Waratpon Warathayarokul) was taken to the Criminal Court for the first detention hearing after being accused of fraud and computer-related crimes. He denied all charges, but did not request bail. Authorities took him into custody and transported him to Bangkok Special Prison.
The prosecution argued against bail, citing the organized nature of the crimes and their extensive social impact. The court granted the detention request and did not consider a temporary release for the defendant during the investigation phase.
Following the court’s decision, the authorities took Boss Paul to the Bangkok Special Prison at approximately 11:45 AM.
