Police Trace 527 Million Baht in Donations as Panadda and Husband Face Court Remand
Police say 527 million baht was moved from three donation accounts as investigators oppose bail and pursue fraud and money-laundering charges.
- On Saturday, police brought former Miss Thailand Panadda "Boom" Wongphudee and her husband, Atip "Got" Anantawan, to the Criminal Court seeking a 12-day detention on fraud and money-laundering charges related to the Goodness Foundation.
- While the foundation collected approximately 815 million baht in donations since 2015, investigators allege Panadda diverted about 527 million baht for villa construction and luxury purchases inconsistent with the foundation's objectives.
- The Economic Crime Suppression Division identified that funds moved through multiple personal and foundation accounts to bypass withdrawal procedures, with transactions including 19 million baht in credit card payments and 24 million baht invested in mutual funds.
- Investigators oppose bail due to risks of witness interference and offense severity, while Panadda apologized to the public on Saturday, stating she provided all facts to authorities and will leave the matter to the judicial process.
- Authorities continue examining roles of board members, contractors, and other individuals connected to the accounts, as police determine whether additional suspects face legal action following the initial 12-day remand.
