On October 22, 2024, lawyer Witthakorn Kaengnang met with police to present evidence, including a video clip, of female singer demanding money from his client, Bos Paul. The lawyer claims that more than 80 individuals have attempted to extort money from Bos Paul.
The evidence provided includes a 512 MB video recorded covertly by Bos Paul’s secretary, which reveals monetary connections between individuals involved in the demands. Bos Paul allegedly had to pay at least 10 people, having made a significant payment mid-2024.
Regarding complaints made by the female singer against the Icon Group, Witthakorn emphasized that if she believes the company was conducting illegal direct sales, she should pursue legal action against them directly rather than negotiating payment to resolve the issue, which he considers improper.
Witthakorn plans to visit the accused female singer to present additional evidence and mentioned that previous demands for money had been ongoing, but clear evidence primarily arises from this year’s incident. Bos Paul was not present during the payment, and other representatives managed the transaction. The rationale behind these payments appears to be to prevent damage to his reputation and business.
Witthakorn asserted that he would not request bail for the 14 clients he represents but was uncertain about Bos Paul’s bail situation. He also hinted at the potential release of an audio clip where someone demanded 20 million baht in exchange for not appearing on a popular show recently.
The lawyer faced personal attacks and threats and emphasized that these issues would not hinder the case against his clients. Witthakorn views the seizure of assets as akin to a bank deposit, where they could be reclaimed upon winning the case, though he can’t guarantee the outcome. Bos Paul’s total payments are alleged to be around 10 million baht, addressing claims made against him.
