The Economic Crime Division chief revealed the conduct involved. "Bum Panadda" Is suspected of involvement in three offenses: public fraud, money laundering, and the Computer Crime Act. Her husband, "Got," may be implicated in money laundering. Authorities plan to issue summonses to all foundation board members for further statements.
At 09:30 on 3 Nov 2026 GMT+7, Police Major General Tatsapoom Jaruprat, commander of the Economic Crime Division, updated on the donation investigation regarding the Good Deeds Foundation. Today, police summoned two experts and media personnel, Mr. Phut Apiwan and Mr. Phudit Kamnueploy, to provide statements to gather evidence on all donation financial flows to the foundation.
Maj. Gen. Tatsapoom stated that after preliminary evidence review, police outlined three primary charges: 1. public fraud, 2. money laundering, and 3. offenses under the Computer Crime Act.
Initial examination found that Ms. Panadda Wongpudi, or Bum Panadda, may be linked and potentially liable for all three charges. Mr. Athip, or "Got," her husband, if found not involved in public fraud, might still face a charge of money laundering as a co-conspirator.
Going forward, investigators from the Economic Crime Division plan to issue summonses to the Good Deeds Foundation board members and all related parties to provide additional statements to complete the case file as per legal procedures.
At 10:00, Mr. Phut Apiwan, a well-known journalist and news anchor, met with Economic Crime Division investigators to give testimony as a witness regarding an 800,000-baht donation to the Good Deeds Foundation. Mr. Phut briefly stated before questioning that he would provide full details and explanations to the police.
Additionally, it was reported that Mr. Phudit Kamnueploy, also known as "Num Kanchai," is scheduled to give a statement to investigators in the same case this afternoon after completing his hosting duties on the program “Hon Krasae.”
