A second fugitive, identified only as “Kotchaporn “, who is alleged to have been involved in the Bt7.5-billion fraud case linked to Dr Boon Vanasin, former chairman of Thonburi Healthcare Group, has been arrested and deported to Thailand, Justice Minister Tawee Sodsong said today.
He declined to reveal from which country Kotchaporn was deported. This leaves Boon as the only fugitive still at large.
Arrest warrants were issued by a Thai court for Boon, Kotchaporn and Thitiporn. All were placed on Interpol’s red notice list after fleeing Thailand in September last year. Kotchaporn was the 15th suspect arrested on the case.
Thitiporn was deported from China to Bangkok earlier this month, where she had been arrested in connection with the fraud case.
Tawee revealed that Thai authorities are now aware of Boon's whereabouts and expect to arrest him soon.
