Narcotic police have threatened to seize the 20-million baht Lamboghini super car from car dealer Akkarakit Worarotecharoendet if he cannot come up with a written evidence or a loan contract to show that he had borrowed six million baht from a friend as a down payment for the luxurious car.
Mr Sirinya Sitthichai, secretary-general of the Office of Narcotic Control Board, said on Sunday that it was very unusual for Akkarakit, alias Benz Racing, to just take the loan from one of his friends, Natthapol Narkkham or Boy, without any loan contract, as he claimed.
He added that if Akkarakit could not prove how he managed to get hold of the super car, then the police would ask the ONCB to seize the car and the car dealer would face legal actions.
Natthapol has been held in police custody under suspicion that he is part of a drug syndicate headed by alleged Laotian drug kingpin, Xaysana Kaewpimpa, earlier arrested by narcotic police at Suvarnabhumi international airport.
Narcotic police, officials of the ONCB and the Anti-Money Laundering Office are due to meet on Monday to discuss Akkarakit’s case as well as Xaysana’s alleged drug syndicate.
