DSI confiscates 5 super cars
Play
The Department of Special Investigation (DSI) Wednesday confiscated five luxury vehicles from a man linked to a Ferrari that triggered a series of investigations into tax evasion scam involving expensive cars.
The Ferrari was one of several cars that caught fire on a trailer being driven through Nakhon Ratchasima in late May. Public suspicion has grown since because no one came forward to claim ownership of the vehicle.
Ekworawut Onchote was named “on paper” as its owner. He is a director and authorised signatory of Bio Power Co Ltd, which is based in Pathum Thani. This led the DSI to raid the company Wednesday to conduct a search, after which, they decided to confiscate five luxury cars for inspections.
“We have targeted luxury vehicles first. There are many other cars at the company but they are not of luxury type,” DSI investigator Major Supawan Phonak said.
