Seizure of Chuwit's Bt3.4 million related to prostitution ring
Play
The Supreme Court on Thursday ruled to seize Bt3.4 million from Rak Prathet Thai MP Chuwit Kamolvisit in connection with his suspected involvement in the prostitution ring.
The high court verdict was based on the civil proceedings under the money laundering law and would not impact on Chuwit’s political office.
Although the lower court and the subsequent appellate reivew ruled in Chuwit’s favour by citing his acquittal in the criminal proceedings, the high court said under the money laundering law, the defence had the burden of proof but failed to verify how the assets in question were amassed.
