No Financial Links Found in Nana Case Tying to Way Divorce Has No Legal Impact

The Economic Crime Division is coordinating with "Way Titanium," Nana's husband, to provide testimony. It remains unconfirmed whether he was involved in wrongdoing alongside his wife, as evidence is still under review. Their divorce status has no legal impact on the case.

On 4 Dec 2025 GMT+7 at the Central Investigation Bureau headquarters, Pol. Maj. Gen. Tatsapoom Jaruprat, Commander of the Economic Crime Division, updated on the case of Mrs. Raibina Inthachai, known as "Nana Raibina," 44, accused of investment fraud. Yesterday, she was interrogated following legal procedures with her lawyer present. She initially denied the charges and declined to give detailed statements, citing the need to prepare extensive supporting documents, which she will submit later. The investigators then submitted her for detention at the Criminal Court this morning.

Pol. Col. Nittichot Phenjamrat, Deputy Commander of the Economic Crime Division, stated that the money transfer slip documents found were altered and presented to a victim to falsely prove a money transfer to another individual for investment. Upon verification, these documents were forged. So far, one victim, a private individual—not a celebrity—has been identified, but their identity remains confidential as electronic evidence is still being examined to see if more evidence exists beyond those currently found.

Regarding the share transfer documents, these were used to claim to a victim that hair salon shares had been transferred to them. However, the documents were not genuine shares belonging to Nana. There was an actual share transfer agreement, but the shares shown were not Nana's. Investigators are verifying whether the shares were legitimately transferred, noting that Nana herself reportedly holds shares in the hair salon business.

The seized ledger-nano-x (hardware wallet) digital currency device is currently being examined with experts and close associates to determine its contents. If assets inside are linked to the wrongdoing, they will be confiscated. Currently, the suspect claims the device belongs to someone else.

When asked whether Mr. Prinya Inthachai, known as Way Titanium, Nana's husband, would be summoned for questioning, Pol. Col. Nittichot replied that coordination is underway to have him provide testimony. No summons has been issued yet, but preparations to issue one are in place.

Pol. Maj. Gen. Tatsapoom added regarding rumors that Mr. Prinya had previously met investigators, stating this is untrue. Investigators are reviewing all aspects to determine if he is involved in the case—whether solely in asset fraud, loan-related fraud, or not involved at all. If involvement is found, legal procedures will follow. Actions will depend mainly on the severity of the penalty, such as whether the sentence is under or over three years, with established legal processes to follow.

Pol. Maj. Gen. Tatsapoom further said about rumors of their divorce that he does not know as it is a personal matter but confirms it has no effect on the case. The investigation focuses on financial evidence and each individual's conduct. Currently, no financial evidence links Mr. Prinya to the case based on complaints received so far. Whether he is involved in other victim cases remains unknown as no new complainants have come forward. The police urge other victims to report promptly, as an investigative team is prepared.

Pol. Col. Nittichot admitted some victims have mentioned Mr. Prinya, but investigations are ongoing to clarify the extent of his involvement. If wrongdoing is confirmed, legal action will follow. Although the total damages are substantial, the case has not yet reached a level requiring the Department of Special Investigation's assistance.

When reporters pressed about whether a summons for Mr. Prinya would soon be issued, Pol. Col. Nittichot said that no summons has been issued yet. Evidence must be thoroughly reviewed first. If wrongdoing is confirmed, the severity of the offense will determine the steps—potentially issuing up to two summonses, then an arrest warrant if ignored. Should Mr. Prinya wish to come forward voluntarily to clarify or show good faith, he is welcome to do so anytime, not only during official hours, provided prior coordination is made to arrange investigators.

Asked if contact with Mr. Prinya is still possible, Pol. Col. Nittichot confirmed he can still be reached but only through his lawyer.

Regarding reports of Nana's illness while detained, Pol. Col. Nittichot explained she experienced stress and panic, along with slight irregular heartbeat—normal reactions for someone unfamiliar with detention or legal proceedings. Her main concern appears to be worry for her child. She brought her own anti-anxiety medication, which helped improve her condition, so hospitalization was not necessary.

Asked if charges would be elevated to fraud against the public, Pol. Maj. Gen. Tatsapoom explained that such a charge requires public advertising or announcement to the general population. In Nana's case, the fraud targeted a specific group of friends, not the general public, so current evidence does not meet that criteria. However, the offense does fulfill the elements of the law related to loan fraud stemming from fraudulent actions.
