Thai woman accuses ex-husband of embezzling her business
A Thai woman is seeking justice for herself and her children after her ex-husband embezzled her business and house in the central province of Pathum Thani.
The victim, 38 year old Sarinrat Kasemmatchawang, filed an embezzlement complaint with officers at Suan Phrik Thai Police Station, but the case made no progress. As a result, she turned to news agencies, urging them to publish her story to bring her ex-husband to justice.
Sarinrat gave an interview to the media at her beauty clinic in the Isaan province of Surin yesterday, March 3. She explained that she married her ex-husband 15 years ago and divorced him in October last year. They had two children together, both of whom remained with her after the divorce.
During their relationship, Sarinrat established a chiller manufacturing company called Ch. Choya Kanchang. She held 90% of the company’s shares, while her ex-husband owned the remaining 10%.
According to Sarinrat, her ex-husband stole 740,000 baht from her company’s bank account on October 25 last year. He forged her signature on the withdrawal document, although the signature was completely different from hers. Despite this, he successfully withdrew the money.
He then used the counterfeit signature to transfer all of her company shares to himself, along with all of her assets. He brought his new wife, a Laotian woman who previously worked as a housemaid for Sarinrat, to live in Sarinrat’s home.
Moreover, he forced Sarinrat and their children out of the house, leading her to relocate to Surin, where she now lives in rented accommodation with her children.
Fearing physical assault, she did not dare confront her ex-husband and instead sought assistance from the police. Unfortunately, the police provided no updates on her case, prompting her to seek help from news agencies.
Suan Phrik Thai Police Station has not yet provided any further clarification on the case. Sarinrat’s ex-husband has also remained silent and has not given his version of events to the police.
A similar case was reported in October last year, when another Thai woman took legal action against her ex-husband.
The woman, who was the CEO of a fermented fish sauce factory in the Isaan province of Sakhon Nakhon, revealed to the media that her ex-husband forged her signature to secure a loan of 80 million baht.
