Forex Fraud Case Against Pawut and Film Postponed Again
Thai prosecutors have delayed the indictment decision for 34 individuals, including politician Pawut Pongvitayapanu and celebrity Rattapoom Tokongsup, in a major Forex fraud case.
On November 5, 2026, the Office of the Attorney General in Bangkok announced a second postponement regarding the indictment decision for 34 suspects involved in a high-profile Forex fraud case. Among those facing potential charges are Pawut Pongvitayapanu, a list MP for the People's Party, and former celebrity Rattapoom 'Film' Tokongsup. The group, which includes 10 legal entities and 24 individuals, was referred to the prosecutors by the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) following an inquiry into technology and information crimes. According to Khaosod Online, the delay is attributed to the ongoing process of questioning witnesses. Pawut has publicly expressed confidence in his evidence and raised questions regarding the handling of the case. For residents and visitors, this case highlights ongoing efforts by Thai authorities to crack down on financial fraud and investment scams. While the legal proceedings continue, the final decision on whether to formally indict the suspects remains pending. Observers are waiting for the next scheduled appointment to see if the prosecution will move forward with the charges or require further investigation. No definitive legal outcome has been reached at this stage.
