The lawyer for “Boss Suy” announced that he will not apply for bail, despite denying all charges, and is willing to stay in prison. It is expected that bail would be set at 1-2 million baht per person, pending the court’s decision.
On October 17, 2024, police from the Crime Suppression Division, supported by the Special Operations unit, apprehended 17 suspects linked to the iCon Group scandal involving fraud and false data entry into computer systems. The group includes notable figures such as Sam Phomramontree, Min Watthanamongtri, and Kant Kanthathaworn, who are executives at iCon Group. They are currently awaiting a hearing to determine their detention and bail, especially due to the significant financial damage caused by their alleged crimes. “Boss Paul” is still under investigation and has not been processed yet.
Boss Suy’s lawyer previously stated that all individuals still hold the presumption of innocence. Boss Suy indicated there was no immediate need for bail and maintained his innocence. It is believed that others may also refrain from applying for bail today due to difficulties in securing collateral. The expected bail amount is around 1-2 million baht per person, and he expressed no concerns or stress regarding the situation, though he naturally thinks of his family.
When asked if the suspects were ready to remain in prison, the lawyer confirmed everyone was prepared for this outcome, noting that Boss Suy shows no signs of worry.
Meanwhile, reports indicate that some representatives of the victims have also submitted requests to oppose bail for the suspects.
