Former ombudsman advisor Natthaporn Toprayoon and his son Ratthasit were denied bail by the Criminal Court.
Bail was rejected due to the severity of charges, potential economic threat, extensive damage, and flight risk.
They face money laundering charges connected to the 11.8 billion baht Klong Chan Credit Union Cooperatives fraud.

Money from cooperative land sales was allegedly transferred through Supachai's accounts to Natthaporn, Ratthasit, and other individuals.
