The Department of Special Investigation (DSI) has issued a second summons for individual Phawut regarding an alleged investment fraud case, while another involved party, Film, is scheduled to meet authorities.
According to a report by Matichon Online on July 31, 2026, the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) has issued a second summons to an individual identified as Phawut in connection with an ongoing FOREX investment fraud investigation.
Phawut’s legal representative has requested a postponement of the scheduled appearance, citing a conflict with a parliamentary committee meeting. Meanwhile, another individual involved in the case, referred to as Film, is reportedly preparing to meet with DSI officials on August 3, 2026, to address the allegations.
For residents and visitors, this case highlights the ongoing scrutiny of high-profile investment schemes in Thailand. While these developments are part of a formal legal process, they serve as a reminder of the importance of verifying the legitimacy of financial investment opportunities.
At this stage, the specific details regarding the extent of the alleged fraud and the potential involvement of other parties remain subject to the ongoing DSI investigation. It is not yet confirmed how the requested postponement for Phawut will affect the timeline of the proceedings, nor have the final outcomes of these meetings been determined. The public is advised to monitor official announcements from the DSI for verified updates regarding the case.
