Thai celebrity Panadda 'Boom' Wongphudee and her husband Athip 'Got' Anantasupakorn were arrested by the Central Investigation Bureau on November 7, 2026, on charges including public fraud, computer crime, conspiracy, and money laundering. Both were remanded to Criminal Court for an initial 12-day detention. Panadda publicly apologized and admitted guilt before entering the police vehicle, while her lawyer confirmed they will cooperate fully with the judicial process and cease media engagement.
On November 7, 2026, at the Central Investigation Bureau headquarters, investigators took Athip Anantasupakorn, known as 'Got,' into custody to be remanded at the Criminal Court for an initial 12-day period. He faces charges of conspiracy by agreement of two or more persons to commit money laundering, and actual money laundering as a result of that conspiracy. As officers escorted him to the detention vehicle, Got walked out smiling at the media but refused to answer any questions.
At 9:55 a.m., investigators also detained Panadda Wongphudee to be remanded at Ratchada Criminal Court for the same initial period. Her charges include conspiracy to defraud the public, conspiracy to input false or forged computer data likely to cause public harm, conspiracy to commit money laundering, and actual money laundering resulting from that conspiracy. Before boarding the vehicle, Panadda stopped for a media interview, pressed her hands together in a wai, apologized, and accepted responsibility for all charges. She stated she had already told the full truth to police and asked that the legal process now take its course. When reporters asked if she confessed, she declined to answer, saying her lawyer would respond on her behalf going forward.
Panadda's lawyer, Ekasit Sri-sang, known as 'Lawyer Phet,' praised the investigators and Central Investigation Bureau for working quickly, fairly, and facilitating justice for all parties. He said the case has now entered the judicial process and both he and Panadda would refrain from further media comments to avoid interfering with legal proceedings.
