DSI probes KCUC case proxies
DSI will summon a lawyer representing Wat Phra Dhammakaya and three board members of a company today on charges of money laundering.
The alleged crimes are linked to the multibillion baht Klongchan Credit Union Cooperative (KCUC) embezzlement scandal.
Lawyer Samphan Sermcheep and other suspects were accused of acting as a proxy for KCUC chairman Supachai Srisupaaksorn,holding shares of M-Home Co.
Pol Lt Col Bantoon Chimgra, director of the DSI's Bureau of Speacial Crime 3,said the four held the shares for sometime before transferring them to Supachai.
Mr Samphan was earlier called in to explain the process of holding and transferring the shares, but the lawyer asked to submit an explanation later,Pol Lt Col Bantoon said.
