The high-profile scam situation against the famous online store Kornkanok” Mae Tuck” Suwannabut has been approved by Justice Minister Tawee Sodsong, who has agreed to have the Department of Special Investigation ( DSI) take it as a special event to expedite its quality.
Mr Kornkanok and her father, Kanpon Rueang-aram, were arrested on Monday in Bangkok. They have been accused of committing common scams, fabricating false information into computer systems, fabricating advertising, and fabricating information about the volume, quality, and other aspects of the products and services they sold.
Mr Kanpon has been sent to Bangkok Remand Prison, while Ms Kornkanok has been taken to the Central Women’s Correctional Institution.
The Consumer Protection Police Division ( CPPD ) denied on Thursday rumors that it had interrogated Ms. Kornkanok’s social media influencers or celebrities.
It was previously rumoured the department had called Ms Kornkanok’s secretary, Jenuch Bangtoei, a well-known website seller, for questioning.
The CPPD maintains that it is concentrating on responding to concerns from patients while creating request documents are being done.

Next year, summonses are anticipated to be issued to those who participated in live broadcasts to promote and sell Ms. Kornkanok’s goods on her social media route.
The accusations against her and her husband generally stem from online purchases of subpar silver jewelry.
Some stars and celebrities have testified to the authorities and denied being involved in any fraud, according to the CPPD.
The Consumer Protection Board, however, has set a timeframe of Friday for Ms Kornkanok’s organization to provide a statement about its business practices.
The CPPD is looking into this aspect of the case, which has been claimed that the silver purchase was never authorized to conduct virtual direct sales.
According to Pol Maj Gen Witthaya Sriprasertpab, the CPPD captain, authorities searched the couple’s apartment in Bangkok’s Ram Intra area on Thursday and two of their businesses, which are located on Hathairat Road in the same area.
At least five expensive vehicles, including a McLaren sports car estimated to be worth$ 30 million, were seized from the locations, along with bank accounts and other assets. Overall, the seized goods were valued at about 70 million ringgit.
A sizable safe deposit box that was originally depicted in a Ms. Kornkanok movie as being filled with thousands of baht in cash was taken out. The couple claimed to have refunded customers who had returned silver goods to their store using the money.
However, the Anti-Money Laundering Office said it had received evidence of fraud submitted by authorities. Before proceeding with reparation to victims, it’s officials may meet on October 17 to determine whether the couple’s assets may be frozen.
