People's Party MP appears before DSI in forex fraud investigation

11 Sept 11:47 Key points summarised by AI

People's Party MP Pawoot Pongvitayapanu reported to the DSI concerning an alleged forex fraud investigation, providing documents for transactions with Spark Digital.
The DSI is scrutinizing a 28 million baht transfer from Spark Digital to Pawoot's account, which he claims represents proceeds from his gold trading business.
Many critics view the DSI's summons as politically motivated, noting Pawoot's vocal opposition to the government's "Thai AI Passport" project.
The broader forex fraud scheme reportedly defrauded hundreds of victims through high-return promises on various trading platforms that eventually collapsed.
