Bangkok: DSI investigators have uncovered substantial money transfers amounting to nearly 100 million baht from a mother to a politician, sparking an urgent investigation into the financial dealings of The Icon Group Company. This discovery is part of an ongoing probe into potential fraud and computer data manipulation linked to the company, with money also reportedly transferred from individuals identified as ‘Boss Paul’ and ‘Boss Peter’.

According to Thai News Agency, progress in the special case involving The Icon Group has led DSI investigators to interrogate additional suspects at the Bangkok Special Prison. Previously, charges were filed against 19 suspects, comprising 18 individuals and one juristic person. These charges include joint fraud and the fraudulent introduction of distorted or forged computer data. Among those interrogated is Mr. Woraratphon Woratworakul, known as Boss Paul, an executive of The Icon, along with members of the Boss Dara group. The interrogation is set to take place over two
days, and Mr. Witoon Kaengngan, the lawyer representing The Icon Group, has been invited to participate.

Further investigation into the financial trail linked to politician S., who once held a government position, has revealed significant money transfers from his mother’s account to his own. Despite the mother’s lack of employment and advanced age, the DSI has identified transfers totaling almost 100 million baht between 2021 and 2024. A source indicated that a portion of this amount was transferred by Boss Paul and Boss Peter to the politician’s mother’s account. The DSI is now working to determine if other parties were involved in these transactions and if additional bosses contributed to the funds transferred into the account.
