The Criminal Court granted bail to "Nana Raibina" after her sister posted a 1-million-baht bond, with an order banning her from leaving the country and appointing a counselor from the court's psychosocial counseling clinic as her supervisor.
At the Criminal Court on 4 Dec 2025 GMT+7, investigators from Division 4, Economic Crime Suppression Division, presented Ms. Raibina Inthachai, known as Nana Raibina, aged 44, a former well-known DJ, for the first detention hearing. She is charged with "fraudulent loan acquisition deceiving the public." The investigators opposed bail, citing the high value of damages and the case's public interest due to the suspect's prominence. Additional complainants had come forward, and some victims opposed bail fearing the suspect might flee and damages would not be compensated.
After considering the petition, the court authorized the detention. Subsequently, Nana Raibina's sister filed a bail request, posting a cash bond of 1 million baht.
Most recently, the Criminal Court reviewed the case and ordered that, based on the risk assessment report, it believed the suspect would neither flee nor commit further offenses. Therefore, bail was granted during the investigation, set at 1 million baht, with a travel ban outside the Kingdom unless authorized by the court. Immigration authorities were to be notified. Additionally, a counselor from the court's psychosocial counseling clinic was appointed to supervise and provide counseling to the suspect as deemed appropriate.
Mr. Suriyan Hongwilai, spokesperson for the Judiciary, further explained the court's order to appoint a counselor from the Criminal Court’s psychosocial counseling clinic to supervise and counsel the suspect during bail. The order followed the court’s view that receiving counseling from a trained psychosocial counselor, certified by the Judiciary Office, would benefit monitoring the suspect’s risk of reoffending and also support the suspect’s mental well-being. The counselor, an expert in psychosocial guidance, assists suspects released on bail who are facing life crises and pressure. Through interviews aimed at motivating the suspect, the counselor helps the suspect feel less isolated, allowing them to express suppressed feelings, emotions, thoughts, and imaginations to an empathetic listener. This process helps the suspect relax and quickly regain mental balance, fostering self-respect and value for themselves and others, promoting coping mechanisms for distress, potentially leading to remorse and appropriate problem resolution.
This process benefits all parties: the suspect recovers faster from trauma, acknowledges mistakes, and seeks to correct them. Simultaneously, it helps monitor the suspect’s thoughts to prevent relapse into criminal behavior, protecting society. The psychosocial counseling clinic exists throughout the judiciary system nationwide. Under Section 108, paragraph 3 of the Code of Criminal Procedure and the 2017 Act on Supervision and Tracking of Bail Evaders, courts may require suspects or defendants to receive psychosocial counseling during bail. The clinic offers positive reinforcement to care for individuals reintegrating into society through bail, suspended sentencing, or post-release, reducing public safety risks and reassuring the public and victims.
