The “Icon” group has recently come under scrutiny, highlighting the involvement of a prosecutor and his wife, a university lecturer, who claimed to have earned nearly 3 million baht in just 8 months. They reportedly received a diamond ring with 108 carats and a free Benz. “Kosalwat,” the chief prosecutor, confirmed his employment and is awaiting an investigation by the Office of the Attorney General (OAG), while the regional chief prosecutor has requested clarification.
As of October 15, 2024, Mr. Kosalwat Inthuchanjhong, head of the Office of Rights Protection and Legal Aid, announced an inquiry into the “Icon Group” following reports of multiple arrests involving executives and former and current celebrities, including the spouse of a long-term university lecturer, coupled with allegations of fraud against the public.
Kosalwat revealed from video evidence that a man identified as “Mr. N.” is indeed a prosecutor with 8 years of service in Maha Sarakham province. The case will be reported to the Attorney General, and the regional chief prosecutor has urged the prosecutor to operate with transparency while the full circumstances of his actions are investigated, which may amount to criminal offenses under the law concerning fraud and ethics violations.
When reporters inquired about the process for determining Mr. N.’s intent, Kosalwat indicated that for criminal liability, intentionality must be established. Observations from video footage will assist in determining whether Mr. N.’s actions link him as a main instigator or a supporter of the allegedly fraudulent activities. Preliminary findings will be reported to the OAG for further directives.” The regional chief may call Mr. N. for an initial interview as needed.
Furthermore, social media activity has resurfaced posts from “The Icon Group,” dating back to February 2, 2022, wherein it featured Mr. N. as a 6-year prosecutor and his wife as a university lecturer for 9 years, claiming they had never seen a million baht before achieving nearly 3 million baht within 8 months through the “Icon Group.” They allegedly earned rewards such as the Benz for success in their sales endeavors with the company.
