DSI Summons 10 Witnesses in Probe of Israeli Businessman’s Alleged Nominee Network in Chonburi

The Department of Special Investigation (DSI) has issued summonses for 10 individual witnesses as part of its ongoing special investigation into the business activities of Israeli national 'Maimon' in Chonburi province. This investigation is a part of a sweeping probe into suspected illegal Israeli-linked business networks operating primarily via nominee arrangements, as ordered by Deputy Interior Minister Polpeer Suwannachawi. The summonses indicate that the DSI is looking into allegations that Maimon may have used Thai nationals as nominees to conduct business operations within Thailand. The department is investigating potential violations of Thai laws and regulations, particularly concerning restrictions on foreign ownership and business activities, as well as potential involvement in illicit activities such as money laundering. Chonburi province is a popular destination for foreign investors and business people, known for its vibrant economic activity. However, it has also been identified as an area where such illicit practices might occur. The DSI's current investigation signifies an increased scrutiny of foreign business operations in Thailand. Further details are expected to emerge as the testimonies of the summoned individuals are gathered.
