After the young singer and actor Film Rattapoom Tokongsup, appeared before investigators at the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) following a summons to acknowledge charges in an unauthorized Forex trading case,
Film denied all charges, explaining that the 25 million baht found by DSI—not 142 million as alleged—came from his face mask business during the COVID-19 outbreak.
Recently, the DSI sent a letter to the media revealing that summonses were issued to Film Rattapoom and three others—four people in total—to meet investigators and acknowledge charges, detailing seven charges related to the case as follows.
