Minister admits trying to mediate iCon Group-investor conflict
14 Sept 21:33 Key points summarised by AI
- Deputy Transport Minister Manaporn Charoensri admitted mediating a conflict between iCon Group and its investors, denying any direct business connection to the e-commerce company.
- The mediation arose from a complaint by investors who paid 200,000 baht each to become iCon Group sales agents but received only 50 packs of toothpaste out of 1,500 promised.
- Manaporn, in her capacity as chair of a consumer protection subcommittee, invited both parties to a meeting to settle the dispute and urge iCon Group to compensate the investors.
- The conflict was reportedly settled, with iCon Group agreeing to compensate the investors, who then agreed to withdraw their complaint, leading to the current allegations against the minister.
