The police chief of Khlong Hoi Khong has set up a committee to investigate the involvement of a police officer, Sergeant Major Jakar, with the Icon Group, a controversial business involved in multi-level marketing. The initial findings show no wrongdoing; Jakar might also be a victim. The investigation will conclude in seven days.
The case involves Sergeant Jakar, who has been active in multi-level marketing since 2020. He initially sold second-hand clothing and later joined the Icon Group, attracted by its potential profit and legitimacy.
Jakar has invested significant amounts ranging from 2,500 to 250,000 baht to buy products but reportedly delayed receiving items after recent controversies erupted. His product sales involved serums, whitening creams, coffee, and collagen.
Additionally, the police chief stated that Jakar was invited to share his sales experiences but did not own any training courses. The luxury car purportedly awarded as a prize has not been verified as being in his possession.
The investigation committee will report its findings to higher authorities promptly, and Jakar, while currently free of criminal charges, may face disciplinary action regarding his involvement in the business.
Jakar’s mental state has become fragile due to societal backlash and he may also be considered a victim if his invested funds are lost without receiving products.
