Thai Panel to Investigate Possible Tax Fraud in Money Transfer.
Sep. 5--A special investigation team will be set up to investigate potential tax fraud relating to the 7.5-billion-baht money-laundering case, according to Pol Maj-Gen Ekkarat Meepreecha, the commander of the Economic Crime Investigation Division.
"The team will seek other documents involved with the case ... they might be fake documents used to claim value-added tax refunds," Pol Maj-Gen Ekkarat said, saying the team would comprise around 20 people.
On Friday, the central bank announced charges against Sirinra Mahamad and her sister Rosarin Chorpradit for illegally transferring about 7.5 billion baht out of the country through three companies.
Pol Col Vorapong Futrakul, deputy ECID commander, has also been transferred because of his alleged involvement with members of the money-laundering scheme.
Pol Maj-Gen Ekkarat declined to comment on reports that as many as six people could be involved in the case. He said as yet no links had been traced to any politicians.
He said the transfer of Pol Col Vorapong stemmed from an investigation which found that he had approved a decision, without good grounds, to drop a charge against Mrs Rosarin's husband.
Meanwhile, the Bank of Thailand plans to revise foreign exchange reporting requirements to strengthen regulatory controls to clamp down on money-laundering.
