BANGKOK, Thailand – A fleet of luxury cars, including Rolls-Royce, Ferrari, Bentley, Maybach, Porsche, and a classic Ford Mustang, with a combined value of over 100 million baht, has been seized from the suspects in the recent “The iCon Group” case, Oct 17. The vehicles were parked in front of the Central Investigation Bureau.
Police have been interrogating all 18 suspects, including executives, celebrities, and network marketers linked to “The iCon Group,” throughout the night. The suspects are facing charges of fraud and computer-related crimes related to their online business. Each suspect has been interrogated separately with their respective lawyers present.
The lawyer for “Boss Paul,” one of the main suspects, has stated that his client denies all charges and maintains his previous stance that the business was a legitimate online venture and not a pyramid scheme.
Other suspects have also reaffirmed their previous statements and are not concerned about the police’s opposition to bail. While they have prepared bail bonds, the specific amount has not been disclosed yet.
The reasons for seeking bail include promising to report to the court every five days and arguing that there was no intention to flee.
Meanwhile, the number of victims has continued to rise, with about 1,700 people reporting losses totaling 600 million baht. Police are still interrogating the suspects and have the authority to detain them for 48 hours. They intend to oppose bail for all suspects. (TNA)
