Actress Pinky Savika and Family Acquitted in Forex-3D Case

On August 13, 2026, the Criminal Court in Thailand delivered a verdict acquitting actress Savika 'Pinky' Chaiyadej, her mother Sarinya Chaiyadej, and her brother Kittichet Chaiyadej of charges involving public fraud and violations of the Computer Crimes Act. The case, widely known as the Forex-3D scandal, had previously resulted in the detention of the family for four years.

Following the court's decision, Sarinya Chaiyadej was released from the Central Women's Correctional Institution at approximately 9:00 PM on the same day. She was greeted by relatives upon her release. In a statement reported by Khaosod Online, Sarinya expressed gratitude for the court's mercy and noted that while she was relieved to be free, she felt sorrow for others still detained. She clarified that her daughter, Pinky, was unable to meet her at the prison due to prior work commitments, though the two had embraced earlier at the court following the verdict.

For residents and visitors, this high-profile legal conclusion marks the end of a significant chapter in a case that captured national attention. While the court has cleared the family of these specific charges, the broader implications of the Forex-3D case continue to be a subject of public interest. It remains to be confirmed if there will be any further legal appeals or additional proceedings related to the wider investment scheme.
