The police have seized an additional four luxury vehicles linked to Boss Paul and Boss Kant in connection with the ongoing fraud case involving “The Icon Group.” This was announced following a meeting of a small investigative team from the Bureau of Special Investigations (Bor.Por.) who are in the process of compiling evidence. A larger task force is scheduled to receive the report tomorrow afternoon.
As of 10:00 AM on October 20, 2024, numerous victims continued to file complaints at the Bureau of Special Investigations. The seized vehicles include three belonging to Boss Paul (Mr. Waratpon Waratnarokul) and one Mercedes-Benz van that Boss Kant (Mr. Kant Kanthathaworn) received as a birthday gift from Boss Paul just months before becoming a suspect.
Currently, there are over 4,743 reported victims, with total damages estimated at nearly 1.4 billion baht. Efforts to issue arrest warrants for additional co-conspirators have stalled as the investigation into the 18 main executives is still pending. Investigators are under pressure to complete their case before the deadline for detention. There are numerous victims from both provincial areas and abroad who are in the process of providing evidence, and those who file complaints after the October 31, 2024 deadline will require new case numbers to avoid delays.
This morning, the small investigative team met to conclude their findings and prepare a report for the larger task force headed by Police Lieutenant General Akkaradech Pimonsri, Assistant Commissioner of Police, who is overseeing the investigation.
