The Crime Suppression Division brought in the sacristan of Wat Phutthaisawan for questioning and seized the round table the former abbot used as a venue for illicit sex acts as evidence.
Update on the case: The Crime Suppression Division arrested "Phra Wachirayan Wi." or Luang Por Atichot, the abbot of Wat Phutthaisawan, a royal monastery in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya province, on charges of embezzling over 92 million baht from the temple, transferring the money to a close female associate. Strong evidence also caught him engaging in illicit sex acts inside the monk's quarters, as previously reported.
Later, at 15:15 on 10 September 2026, officers from Division 1 of the Crime Suppression Division brought Mr. Chettha Ninsukhum, sacristan of Wat Phutthaisawan, to the Crime Suppression Division headquarters. He was taken via the rear elevator to avoid media waiting at the front. This is likely related to investigations into the financial trail of over 92 million baht. Further details on his status and charges await the investigators' clarification.
Additionally, the Crime Suppression Division brought in evidence and items seized from Wat Phutthaisawan for further examination, including the orange round table shown in the video as key evidence in the case, along with a crate of documents labeled “Office building and the building behind the previous abbot’s quarters.”
