Court rejects arrest warrant for People’s Party MP in forex fraud case

13 Sept 20:26 Key points summarised by AI

The Criminal Court rejected the Department of Special Investigation (DSI)'s application for arrest warrants against 22 suspects, including People’s Party MP Pawoot Pongvitayapanu, in a forex trading fraud case.
The court based its decision on suspects having permanent residences and the ability to be summoned, exercising caution to prevent the court from being used for political motives.
Only two arrest warrants were issued, leading to the detention of one suspect, Thiraphong Khong Kaew, upon his arrival at Suvarnabhumi Airport from Dubai.
The People’s Party claims the charges against MP Pawoot are politically motivated, linking them to his scrutiny of a controversial government AI project.
