On Monday, April 7, 2025, at approximately 10:00 PM, Police Captain Wisanu Chimtrakool, Deputy Director General of the Department of Special Investigation (DSI), along with Police Lieutenant General Samran Nualma, Assistant Commissioner-General of the Royal Thai Police, Police Major General Noppasin Poolsawat, Deputy Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Bureau, Police Major General Pitak Uthaitham, Deputy Commissioner of the Office of the Commissioner General, Royal Thai Police, and Police Colonel Decho Sosuwannakul, Deputy Commander, Immigration Division 3, held a press conference announcing the arrest of a suspect. Mr. Wuttikrai Sritawat Na Ayutthaya, Head of the Surveillance and Intelligence Division, along with officers from the Surveillance and Intelligence Center and police officers appointed by the Prime Minister to the Special Case Inquiry Official Team for the Special Case No. 136/2567, jointly arrested Miss Thitiporn (surname withheld), who was a broker for Dr. Boon, a suspect in this case, and is wanted for jointly borrowing money in a manner that constitutes public fraud under the Emergency Decree on Borrowings Which are Regarded as Public Cheating and Fraud, B.E. 2527 (1984) and its amendments, and for jointly defrauding the public under the Criminal Code. The arrest took place at Suvarnabhumi International Airport in Samut Prakan Province after she fled the arrest in this case to the People's Republic of China.

This case originated from the DSI, Bureau of Justice Enhancement Affairs, receiving the transfer of a criminal investigation file from the Metropolitan Police Bureau, Royal Thai Police, on December 27, 2024. There were more than 605 complainants and victims, with damages amounting to 16,100,602,806 baht. The Bureau of Justice Enhancement Affairs conducted investigations, gathered evidence, seized assets, and forwarded the case to the Anti-Money Laundering Office (AMLO). Legal proceedings were initiated against Dr. Boon and accomplices, totaling 16 individuals, with 13 suspects already arrested. However, three suspects, namely Mr. Boon (surname withheld), Miss Kotchaporn (surname withheld), and Miss Thitiporn (surname withheld), fled abroad, leading to the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL) being notified to issue a Red Notice.

Subsequently, Police Captain Wisanu Chimtrakool, Deputy Director General of the DSI as the head of the special case inquiry official team, Police Captain Thinavudth Silapat, Director of the Bureau of Foreign Affairs and Transnational Crime, and Mr. Angsuket Visuthvatanasak, Director of the Bureau of Justice Enhancement Affairs, received coordination from Police Lieutenant General Samran Nualma, Assistant Commissioner-General of the Royal Thai Police. They were informed that following the Royal Thai Police's actions regarding the three fugitives suspects who fled the kingdom in this special case, by notifying the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL) to issue a Red Notice, they had received notification from the authorities of the People's Republic of China that Miss Thitiporn had been apprehended in the People's Republic of China. This was reported to Police Major Yutthana Praedam, Director General of the DSI, who then ordered the Bureau of Justice Enhancement Affairs to work with the Bureau of Foreign Affairs and Transnational Crime to coordinate with the Foreign Affairs Division of the Royal Thai Police. This joint effort aimed to coordinate with the authorities of the People's Republic of China to request their cooperation in returning this suspect to Thailand to face the justice system. On this day (Monday, April 7, 2025), the authorities of the People's Republic of China deported the suspect, who arrived in Thailand on a flight landing at Suvarnabhumi International Airport in Samut Prakan Province. DSI officers and police officers, who were appointed by the Prime Minister to the Special Case Inquiry Official Team for the Special Case No. 136/2567, jointly took custody of the suspect to hand her over to the special case inquiry official team for legal proceedings.

Furthermore, Miss Thitiporn is the 14th suspect arrested in Special Case No. 136/2567. Her actions involved inviting the public to invest by providing money to Dr. Boon as loans. Subsequently, no returns were paid and the principal was not repaid, causing widespread damage. The DSI will continue to track down and arrest the remaining fugitives to bring them to justice.
