Dhammakaya-linked land to be seized

Dhammakaya-linked land to be seized

Eight Pathum Thani properties belonging to a daughter of development tycoon Anant Asavabhokhin will be temporarily seized as part of an investigation into alleged money laundering and embezzlement linked to the Klongchan Credit Union Cooperative.

Some of that land is the site of the controversial Dhammakaya Temple’s Boon Raksa infirmary.
The transactions committee of the Anti-Money Laundering Office (Amlo) resolved on Tuesday to take temporary custody of the eight plots together worth Bt298 million, initially for 90 days.
The properties in Klong Luang district’s Tambon Klong Sam are registered in the name of Alisa Asavabhokhin, daughter of Land and Houses Plc chairman Anant, an Amlo source said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
The agency has determined that former Klongchan chairman Supachai Srisupa-aksorn, who had allegedly bought the plots with embezzled money, sold them to Alisa for Bt298 million in 2013 after being accused of embezzlement, but none of the money went to the cooperative.
