A COUPLE has surrendered to Phuket police over their roles in the UFUN Store, an alleged pyramid scheme.
Colonel Angkul Klaikleung, deputy chief of the Consumer Protection Police Division, told a press conference yesterday that there had been transactions worth about Bt30 million through Damrongsak Pitisuk and his wife Pornthicha’s bank accounts.
Arrest warrants were issued against them on June 23 for public fraud and transnational crime charges.
The couple allegedly enticed 100 downline members to join the scheme under a network allegedly led by arrested suspect Apichanat Saenkla.
Angkul said 160 arrest warrants had been issued in the case, with 73 suspects arrested and 31 on the run overseas.
About 3,500 people have filed complaints in the case alleging damages of Bt300 million. The authorities have seized about Bt800 million in assets.
