The Anti-Money Laundering Office (AMLO) has seized 4,600 baht in assets from the OA Transport Company after a court judgement over their operations in Phuket and other provinces.
At a media scrum held at the Police Region 8 headquarter in Mai Khao yesterday, officers made the announcements, led by Royal Thai Police Deputy Chief Gen Rungroj Sangkram, Secretary – General of AMLO Maj Gen Preecha Jaroensahayanon and the Immigration Police chief Lt Gen Surachate Hakparn.
Gen Rungroj says, “The AMLO has seized assets from Tongchai Rungrojrangsri or OA Transport Company, with a total value of 4,600 million baht. The seizures include land and properties in Bangkok, Phuket, Chon Buri, Nonthaburi and Nakhon Pathom, jewelry shops in Phuket and cash in the bank.”
“The company has avoided tax from 2011-2016 which has cost the revenue department more than 7,000 million baht.”
“The company is now free to operate their services as the court has ruled to seize only land and buildings as compensation. They can still sell their products and services.”
