A British court awarded Nopporn Suppipat, founder of Wind Energy Holdings (WEH), US$900 million in compensation for a fraudulent share sale.
The verdict found current WEH chairman Nop Narongdej and 13 co-defendants guilty of conspiring to lure Suppipat into selling his shares at a significantly undervalued price.
Suppipat sold his shares for US$176 million while they were estimated to be worth US$1.6 billion, with the UK court asserting jurisdiction due to a British co-defendant.
Thailand secures US$200m World Bank loan for clean energy and low carbon cities
Yesterday 09:24Key points summarised by AI
Thailand secured a US$200 million loan from the World Bank to significantly invest in clean energy and low-carbon urban development initiatives.
The program aims to drive clean energy funding and low-carbon growth, ensuring a just transition for small and medium-sized enterprises, workers, farmers, and local communities.
Channelled through the Export-Import Bank of Thailand, the loan will fund energy efficiency upgrades in public buildings and industrial areas, including rooftop solar installations and electrical system modernizations, reducing initial capital burdens via Energy Service Companies (ESCOs).
