Oat Pramote Authorizes Lawyer Kaew to File Charges Against Boom Panadda Over Charity Fund Donation Dispute
This has become major nationwide news after police earlier today took into custody Boom Panadda and Gott Athip for detention. Boom did not seek bail and was sent to the Central Women's Correctional Institution, while Gott's bail request was denied by the court, resulting in his transfer to Bangkok Remand Prison, as previously reported. Recently, the WHY LIFE Foundation of the famous singer Oat Pramote appointed Lawyer Kaew to file a complaint against Boom Panadda with the Crime Suppression Division on three charges: 1. Public fraud, 2. Violation of the Computer Crime Act, and 3. Money laundering.
The Good Deeds Foundation sent a written acknowledgment to Oat Pramote's WHY LIFE Foundation confirming receipt of the donation of 150,000 baht and stating the funds were used according to their intended purpose. WHY LIFE Foundation, which gathered funds from various donors, wished to empower Lawyer Kaew to file the complaint, as Oat wanted to do it personally but was unable due to other commitments.
Lawyer Kaew was told to proceed because the acknowledgment from the Good Deeds Foundation clearly confirmed the funds were used as intended. Oat views the 150,000 baht as public money contributed by the people and wants to show transparency by filing the complaint. Oat expressed surprise and some disappointment over the seriousness of the issue, explaining that a committee meeting was necessary before proceeding with the complaint.
The complaint today covers three charges: 1. Public fraud, 2. Computer Crime Act violation, and 3. Money laundering.
