The image Group event report, which was 340 000 pages, was sent to people prosecution by the Department of Special Investigation on Monday, naming 18 suspects and the business itself on four counts.
DSI director-general Yutthana Praedam said four trucks and six delivery trucks were needed to carry the papers to the attorney-general’s business.  ,
The 19 defendants are accused of common scams, computer violence, false saving ( a pyramid scheme ) and breaching the Direct Sales and Marketing Act.
According to him, the DSI was conducting an independent investigation into the image Group situation regarding potential money-laundering and tax-and-account violations.
7, 875 citizens allegedly complained to The image Group and claimed to own lost 1.64 billion ringgit in total as a result of direct sales and marketing, according to Pol Maj Yutthana.
The DSI impounded goods worth 747 million ringgit from suspects for potential settlement. Real property and luxury cars were among the seized goods.
On behalf of the offenders, statements from 50 testimony on behalf of the suspects were included in the inspection report that was handed to the prosecution on Monday.
According to Pol Maj Yutthana, the DSI may look for more resources that the suspects had hidden, file claims against the heads of the other shop networks selling sign Group products, and investigate threats against any complainants and witnesses, according to Pol Maj Yutthana.
After receiving the documents from the DSI, Sakkasem Nisaiyok, spokesman for the Office of the Attorney-General ( OAG ), said the DSI charged that the alleged offences occurred between Aug 12, 2020 and Aug 31, 2024.
He claimed the suspects ‘ detention times would end on January 8 or 9 in 2025, and that the OAG was informed that the event had attracted the public’s attention. The indictment’s decision would be made public when the prosecution may decide.  ,  ,
In response to the numerous complaints from people who were invited to invest in The logo Group products and promised very profitable immediate sales, but who otherwise suffered enormous losses, 18 people were included in the 18 people who had previously been detained.
Numerous famous people had shared their success with possible retailers at meetings where they had discussed how they had accumulated it enormously.
There were reportedly many hundred thousand retailers recruited in Thailand and other nations.
The image Group founder and CEO Warathaphon” Boss Paul” Waratyaworrakul earlier said that his company was critical in making products, largely nutritional supplements, for dealers to buy, but sales depended on the dealers ‘ personal performances. He is among the imprisoned defendants.
