Actress Nana granted bail on fraud charge

11 Sept 05:41 Key points summarised by AI

Actress Rybena Intachai, known as ‘Nana Rybena’, was granted one-million baht bail by the Criminal Court, following police's decision to drop the charge of defrauding the public.
The public fraud charge was dropped because the victims, allegedly duped into investing 190 million baht in a non-existent business, were primarily her close friends, not members of the general public.
Bail was issued with the condition that Rybena must not leave the country without court permission; she denies the charges but has agreed to submit a written statement.
Authorities continue their investigation, including examining a seized Ledger Nano X for cryptocurrency and scrutinizing investment documents for potential falsification.
