      Thaksin's son answers, denies laundering charges


      Panthongtae Shinawatra and three others have acknowledged and denied money-laundering charges concerning the multi-billion-baht Krungthai Bank loan scandal that involved his father Thaksin, according to the Department of Special Investigation (DSI).

      Deputy DSI director-general Songsak Raksaksakul said on Wednesday that Mr Panthongtae, Kanchanapa Honghern, Kesinee Jipipob and Wanchai Honghern met DSI interrogators to acknowledge the charges of money laundering and conspiracy in money laundering on Tuesday, earlier than their scheduled appointment next Tuesday.

      They denied the charges and would defend themselves in the justice system, Pol Lt Col Songsak said. The DSI then released them without bail because they presented themselves ahead of schedule.

      The DSI had not set the next meeting with them and would be ready to receive their written arguments in the case, he said.

      Pol Lt Col Songsak said that the charges resulted from the request of the Anti-Money Laundering Office for the DSI to investigate the people who received or were connected with money related to the improper lending from Krungthai Bank to subsidiaries of Krisdamahanakorn Plc (KMC).

      Two amounts of 10 million baht and 26 million baht were linked with the four suspects, he said.

      The four were accompanied by their own lawyers, former justice minister Chaikasem Nitisiri and lawyer Pichit Chuenban. Mr Panthongtae's sisters Pinthongta and Praethontan were also present.

      Mrs Kanchanapa was a personal secretary to Mr Panthongtae's mother Khunying Pojaman na Pombejra. Mrs Kesinee and Mr Wanchai are Mrs Kanchanapa's mother and husband respectively.

      The case concerns money transferred to Mr Panthongtae from KMC, which inappropriately received 9.9 billion baht in loans through subsidiaries from Krungthai Bank in 2003-2004 during the Thaksin administration.

      State-owned Krungthai Bank lent the money to KMC's subsidiaries to refinance loans and for project development.

      KMC was at the time in Krungthai Bank's non-performing loans group, a category that banks should not lend to under Bangkok of Thailand regulations.

      Bank executives were found to have approved the loan because a "big boss" said there would be no problems. The court, however, decided there was not enough evidence to establish who the "big boss" was.

      It was found the money was later paid in hundreds of transactions, including 10 million baht to Mr Panthongtae and 26 million baht to Mrs Kesinee.

      Mr Panthongtae had explained that Wichai Krisadatanon, a KMC executive, wrote him a 26 million baht cheque and asked him to buy shares on the Stock Exchange of Thailand on his behalf. Mr Panthongtae did not accept it and told him to ask Mrs Kesinee instead.

      The cheque payable to Mr Panthongtae was therefore cancelled and 26 million baht was transferred to Mrs Kesinee the next day to buy Ch Karnchang shares in her name. Mrs Kesinee paid Wichai back 2-3 months later, after the shares were sold.

      As for the 10 million baht cheque, Mr Panthongtae argued it was given to him by Wichai's son Ratchada, who sought to co-invest with him in a car import business he was planning at the time. The project did not materialise because of complex regulations involved, so he paid Ratchada back a year later, also by cheque.

      In 2015, the Supreme Court for politicians sentenced 16 people to 12 and 18 years in jail for malfeasance. They included three former top Krungthai Bank executives and KMC executives, including Wichai and Ratchada.

      Thaksin was the first defendant in the case but he had left the country in 2008, so his trial was shelved.

          PANTHONGTAE SHINAWATRA, the son of fugitive former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, and three other persons who are facing money-laundering and related charges filed by the Department of Special Investigation (DSI), have denied any wrongdoing and will fight their cases in court.

          Pol Colonel Paisit Wongmuang, the DSI director-general, said yesterday that all four reported themselves and acknowledged the charges to the agency on Tuesday, October 17, ahead of the October 24 deadline set by authorities. They were released without bail.

          He said the Anti-Money Laundering Organisation (AMLO) had previously submitted details of the charges to the DSI. They relate to alleged multi-billion-baht fraudulent loans from the state-owned Krungthai Bank, in which a Bt10-million cheque was said to be issued to Panthongtae and another Bt26-million cheque given to Kanchana and Wanchai Honghern, and Kesinee Jipiphop.

          As a result, the DSI is pursuing money-laundering and related charges against the four suspects, who said they will provide evidence to defend themselves in court.

          Money-laundering cases have a 15-year statute of limitations, so the DSI is required to close its investigation in this case by the middle of next year.

          Panthongtae earlier petitioned the DSI to also investigate another 150 people and organisations that had allegedly received ill-gotten funds from the Krisada Mahanakorn Group, but they are not being investigated.

          will fight their cases in court. Oh great another Shinawatra case to follow: http://www.nationmultimedia.com/deta...itics/30329618

                DSI promises justice for Thaksin's son in KTB case


                The Department of Special Investigation (DSI) is confident it can wrap up the cases in which Panthongtae Shinawatra and three others are accused of laundering money in connection with the Krungthai Bank (KTB) loan scandal before the statute of limitation expires next year.

                DSI chief Paisit Wongmuang said Wednesday that Mr Panthongtae has contacted the department to say he was bringing in additional documents to rebut the charge against him.

                However, the son of ousted former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra has not yet fixed a time to see the DSI.

                Pol Col Paisit said the investigation was continuing in the meantime. Despite having to wait for more evidence from the accused, the case will be concluded before the statute of limitations expires in the middle of next year, he said. All four suspects have been summoned by the DSI to hear the money-laundering charges.

                Earlier, additional information was submitted by the Anti-Money Laundering Office (Amlo), which lodged a complaint with the DSI accusing the four of laundering money by receiving cheques tied to the loans.

                They allegedly received part of a fraudulent KTB loan worth 9.9 billion baht. The bank extended loans to subsidiaries of the Krisdamahanakorn (KMN) real-estate company during Thaksin's time in office.

                Mr Panthongtae's lawyer petitioned the DSI asking it not to press money laundering charges against his client. The lawyer said Mr Panthongtae was not aware the 10-million-baht cheque he received from KMN owner Wichai Krisdathanon was part of the dubious KTB loan, and he had no intention of concealing the money.

                Meanwhile, the DSI's special case committee chaired by Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam agreed to take up four special cases. They include the high-profile fraud allegation levelled against Siam Indica Co operated by Apichart Chansakulporn, alias Sia Piang. The firm stands accused of laundering money through an alleged bogus sale of rice to China in a government-to-government agreement from 2011 to 2012.

                Another case the DSI is treating as a special case concerns the distribution of defective Alpha 6 narcotics detectors to the Directorate of Operations under the Royal Thai Armed Forces.

                      No more delays, DSI warns 'Oak' in KTB case


                      Investigators have agreed to hear from nine more proposed defence witnesses in the money laundering case against Panthongtae "Oak" Shinawatra, but say the process must be completed by March 15 to avoid any further delay.

                      Mr Panthongtae, son of former prime minister Thaksin, has made repeated calls for "justice" since he and three others were charged with alleged involvement in relation to the approval of large unsecured loans for a blacklisted client of the Krungthai Bank (KTB) during the Thaksin administration.

                      Mr Panthongtae's lawyer earlier asked the Department of Special Investigation to interview 21 more witnesses, but investigators selected only eight who were directly linked with case.

                      Last month the suspect continued what were seen as delaying tactics, asking the officers to add three more suspects.

                      "We resolved to question nine more witnesses," Kajornsak Buddhanuparb, chief of the Office of Attorney-General's Department of Investigation 3 said on Wednesday after meeting with DSI investigators.

                      If they do not report to investigators by March 15, their right to testify will be revoked, Mr Kajornsak said.

                      The witnesses' repeated postponement of meeting dates has annoyed investigators, who view it as a deliberate delaying tactic with the statute of limitations in the case due to expire in December this year and the investigation still to go through a lengthy process.

                      After March 15, the investigators will be occupied wrapping up the case report before forwarding it to prosecutors, Mr Kajornsak said. The prosecutors will then decide whether more witness accounts are needed before indictment.

                      The eight defence witnesses were called to testify between Jan 16 and 14, but failed to turn up. They instead put back the interrogation to early February, and eventually, Mr Kajornsak said, only six met with the DSI.

                      He said the investigators have allowed Mr Panthongtae his legal right to request more witnesses be allowed to testify on his behalf, but he too must "respect the investigators' right" to complete the case within the set time frame.

                      Frequent petitions for justice was a frequent tactic used by well-to-do people to buy time, he said.

                      On Jan 25, Mr Panthongtae's lawyer Chumsai Sriyaphai also called for justice, petitioning Justice Minister Prajin Juntong over alleged interference in the case.

                      The four suspects were accused of laundering money after receiving cheques worth 10 million baht and 26 million baht connected with the dubious KTB loans.

                      The bank granted 9.9-billion-baht in loans to subsidiaries of the Krisdamahanakorn real estate company even though the company was listed with the bank as a non-performing debtor.: https://www.bangkokpost.com/news/cri...ak-in-ktb-case

                        DSI recommends prosecution of Thaksin's son Panthongtae

                        The Department of Special Investigation (DSI) on Wednesday recommended the indictment of Panthongtae Shinawatra, son of former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, and two others in relation to the Krungthai Bank loan scandal.

                        DSI officials took Mr Panthongtae, Kanchanapa Honghern (secretary to Mr Panthongtae's mother Khunying Pojaman na Pombejra), and her husband Wanchai Honghern with them to the Office of the Attorney-General (OAG), where they presented their case report.

                        DSI investigators did not seek to involve Kesinee Jipipop, Mrs Kanchanapa's mother, in the indictment.

                        Prayut Phetkhun, deputy spokesman of the OAG, said the office ordered the three to show up again on Sept 5 to hear its decision.

                        A DSI source said the DSI had already questioned additional witnesses proposed by Mr Panthongtae and was confident that its case report was complete.

                        Mr Panthongtae and the two others are accused of laundering money lent to subsidiaries of property developer Krisdamahanakorn by state-owned Krungthai Bank in 2003 and 2004, when his father Thaksin was prime minister, even though the company was a non-performing debtor.

                                Thaksin's son shows up for money-laundering indictment


                                Former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra's son Panthongtae reported to the Office of the Attorney-General on Wednesday and was indicted for money-laundering in the Krungthai Bank loan scandal.

                                Mr Panthongtae, 38, was accompanied by his younger sisters Pinthongta and Praethongtan and many key members of the Pheu Thai Party, who showed up to give him moral support.

                                The Department of Special Investigation earlier recommended the attorney-general prosecute Mr Panthongtae, Kanchanapa Honghern (secretary to Mr Panthongtae's mother Khunying Pojaman na Pombejra), and her husband Wanchai Honghern.

                                Mr Panthongtae and the two others are accused of laundering money that state-owned Krungthai Bank lent to subsidiaries of property developer Krisdamahanakorn in 2003 and 2004, when his father Thaksin was prime minister, even though the company was a non-performing debtor.

                                They allegedly received cheques of 10 million baht and 26 million baht tied to the unsecured Krungthai Bank loans.

                                A spokesman for the attorney-general later confirmed Mr Panthongtae was indicted on charges of conspiracy and collusion in money-laundering, relating to the 10-million-baht cheque.

                                Ms Kanchanapa and Mr Wanchai were indicted on the same charges, relating to the 26-million-baht cheque.

                                Money-laundering carries a jail term of 1-10 years and has a 10-year statute of limitations, the spokesman said. They would be arraigned in the Central Criminal Court for Corruption and Misconduct Cases.

                                Krungthai Bank lent 9.9 billion baht to subsidiaries of Krisdamahanakorn to refinance loans and for project development.

                                KMC was at the time in Krungthai's non-performing loans group, a category that banks should not lend to under Bangkok of Thailand regulations.

                                In 2015, the Supreme Court for politicians sentenced 16 people to 12 and 18 years in jail for malfeasance. They included three former top Krungthai Bank executives and Krisdamahanakorn executives.

                                Thaksin was the first defendant in the case, but he left the country in 2008.: https://www.bangkokpost.com/print/1555402/
