Ruttaphon has deferred to the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) to respond to questions about whether over 28 million baht was transferred to Pawut via the forex money trail. He acknowledged that Renny Corporation is under investigation for irregularities after fake documents bearing the name of a former Finance Minister were found used to defraud the public.
At 13:50 on 3 July 2026 at Government House, Pol. Lt. Gen. Ruttaphon Naowarat, Minister of Justice, spoke about MP Pawut Pongwittayaphanu of the Prachachon Party, who is scheduled to clarify allegations to DSI investigators on 6 July concerning links to a forex network. He said the DSI has summoned Pawut to explain various suspicions.
When asked if the DSI’s inquiry includes Renny Corporation, a payment transfer company accused of using a forged business license in 2024, and falsely claiming the name of former Finance Minister Uttama Savanayana, who left office in 2020, Pol. Lt. Gen. Ruttaphon said this issue is on the DSI’s agenda. The license signed by Uttama in 2024 is irregular and is part of an ongoing DSI case.
Asked whether Renny Corporation actually used the forged documents to deceive the public, Pol. Lt. Gen. Ruttaphon said the details should be investigated by the DSI to determine how the documents relate to the company’s business.
Regarding rumors that more than 28 million baht was transferred to Pawut, Pol. Lt. Gen. Ruttaphon said it would be better for the DSI to clarify. He added that forensic evidence can verify such claims.
