Chuwit fined Bt2.4 million
The Supreme Court yesterday fined Rak Thailand Party leader Chuwit Kamolvisit Bt2.4 million for expanding a massage parlour without a building permit 10 years ago.
The fine includes daily interest and a daily fine of Bt500 on top of the original fine of Bt1.1 million levied by lower courts many years ago. Chuwit was found guilty of renovating the Honolulu massage parlour and adding some rooms and structures without seeking a permit from the Huai Khwang District Office.
The Criminal Court had sentenced him to a Bt40,000 fine plus a Bt1,000 daily fine, but halved both following his confession. The Appeals Court upheld the guilty verdict and the rates.
Chuwit divested himself of his massage parlours after entering politics.
