Bangkok: DSI and the Royal Thai Police have successfully apprehended "Kachporn," a female broker associated with Dr. Boon, after her evasion from Thailand since September 2014.
According to Thai News Agency, Pol. Lt. Col. Wisanu Chimtrakul, Deputy Director-General of the Department of Special Investigation, along with Pol. Lt. Col. Tinwut Silaphat, Director of the International Affairs and International Crime Division, and other officials from the Investigation, Tracking and Intelligence Center, jointly arrested Ms. Kotchaporn at Don Mueang International Airport. Ms. Kotchaporn is accused of fraudulent money borrowing from the public under the Royal Decree on Fraudulent Loans from the Public B.E. 2527 and its amendments, as well as defrauding the public under the Criminal Code. She had fled Thailand since September 2024.
The case, which was reported to the Department of Special Investigation and the Office of Justice Affairs by the Metropolitan Police Bureau on December 27, 2024, involves more than 605 accusers and victims, with damages totaling 16,100,602,806 baht. The investigation led to asset seizures and involvement of the Anti-Money Laundering Office (AMLO). Subsequently, the special case investigation report was forwarded to the public prosecutor on January 27, 2025, recommending the indictment of Dr. Boon and 15 accomplices, with three suspects escaping overseas.
DSI has requested INTERPOL to issue a Red Notice to assist in capturing the remaining fugitives. Earlier, on April 7, 2025, the Department of Special Investigation and the Royal Thai Police arrested Ms. Thitiporn, another broker for Dr. Boon, at Suvarnabhumi Airport.
Ms. Kotchaporn is the 15th suspect arrested in Special Case No. 136/2567. She allegedly encouraged investments by lending money to Dr. Boon and associates, but failed to deliver returns or refund the principal, resulting in significant financial damage. Efforts are ongoing to locate and arrest Dr. Boon, who remains at large, to proceed with legal action.
