DSI set to charge two suspects over super car scam

BANGKOK: -- Two men suspected of involvement in the trade of high-end cars that were not properly taxed are expected to surrender to the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) today.

 

Meanwhile, Provincial Police Region 3 has distributed an arrest warrant for a key witness to implicate a gang that brought the luxury cars into Thailand without paying correct taxes.

 

DSI chief Tarit Pengdit reported yesterday that Nareunart Kuansawat and Thanan Kuansawat would present themselves to case investigators at 10am today, after evidence and witnesses allegedly linked these two men to the luxury-car trade and tax evasion.

 

Tarit said the DSI would initially charge them with smuggling the cars into the country and dodging taxes or proper customs procedures, presenting faulty papers to avoid tax, and hiding and distributing the cars in question.

 

Tarit said Nareunart was also expected to present to the DSI the ownership document for a Bentley that was registered in Si Sa Ket.

 

Tarit said the DSI would talk with seven related agencies about guidelines for owners to keep the cars being investigated for tax evasion until the cases were proved and the vehicles seized. He said they would consider allowing owners to buy the cars back at an appropriate price.

 

CHALERM'S CAR INSPECTED

 

Tarit said he was looking into the matter of Deputy Prime Minister Chalerm Yoobumrung's Rolls-Royce. Its value had reportedly been shown at only US$70,000 (Bt2.15 million).

 

Tarit said he was looking into the matter and urged people not to jump to conclusions.

 

He said the grey market had both legal and illegal sections and same-model cars bought from different dealers could vary in price, as it was a free market.

 

He said it was the Customs Department's job to investigate whether price declarations were false or not.

 

Reporting progress in the police probe of six luxury cars burned in Nakhon Ratchasima's Pak Chong district, Provincial Police Region 3 investigator Pol Colonel Panu Buranasiri yesterday said he had received a warrant from the DSI for Nathee Rewthong, 31.

 

Nathee was wanted for smuggling cars into the country without paying taxes or proper customs procedures, presenting faulty papers to avoid tax, and hiding and distributing the improperly taxed cars.

 

Police investigations had allegedly found Nathee helped a gang by providing papers for the luxury cars' registration and delivering the vehicles and papers to state officials he had contacted, so the cars could be made legal without paying the full taxes, Paru said. He has urged Nathee, who is an amputee missing his left arm and right thumb, to surrender for his own safety.

 

Panu said the probe by Bua Yai district police of eight high-end cars had not been submitted to Provincial Police Region 3 yet despite five of the cars having already been returned to their owners. The regional police will order the retrieval of the five cars for detailed forensic examination, which should take two weeks.
