Actress ‘Patt’ turns herself in to police over money laundering charges
Actress Napapa “Patt” Tantrakul turned herself in to the Narcotics Suppression Bureau to face charges of conspiracy to launder money.
She arrived at NSB headquarters at 9am on Monday to find a large number of reporters waiting.
Napapa, who looked tense, did not say anything to reporters as she entered the building.
Lawyer Arkhom Khongsawat, who represents Napapa, said Bt500,000 had been prepared to apply for her release on bail.
The NSB issued two summons for Napapa to face charges after investigators discovered that the actress possessed money her husband – motorbike star Akarakit “Benz Racing” Worarojcharoendet – had received from a network led by alleged Lao drug kingpin Xaysana Keopimpa.
It is expected that investigators will seek a detention order for her from the Criminal Court on Monday while the probe continues.
