DSI Questions Former Foundation President in Financial Probe
The DSI questioned former Kan Jom Plang Foundation president Kanok Sathaworn for over two hours regarding suspicious financial transactions, including a 10-million-baht land purchase and late-night withdrawals. The investigation follows a complaint by lawyer Sitra Biyabangert alleging misuse of foundation assets. Sathaworn declined to comment on the allegations, telling reporters only to "wait and see."
The Department of Special Investigation (DSI) questioned Kanok Sathaworn, known as "Eve," the former president of the Kan Jom Plang Foundation, for over two hours on November 13, 2026. She appeared before investigators from the DSI's Bureau of Justice Administration to give testimony as a witness regarding her role and duties during her tenure as foundation president, with particular focus on fund withdrawals from the foundation's accounts.
After the questioning concluded at 5:20 PM, Eve walked to the second floor where media attempted to ask whether she had submitted all evidence, what her role as president entailed, and whether the withdrawals complied with regulations. She responded briefly with "Wait and see" before departing immediately.
The DSI is currently investigating the foundation's operations, financial expenditures, assets, and complex money trails before proceeding with legal action. This follows a complaint filed by lawyer Sitra Biyabangert, known as "Lawyer Tam," on September 7, 2026, requesting an investigation into whether foundation assets were used for unintended purposes. On November 3, 2026, Lawyer Tam submitted additional financial documents to the DSI, highlighting a land purchase worth over 10 million baht, vehicle purchases worth tens of millions of baht, and several suspicious late-night fund withdrawal transactions.
