Strohmann-Strukturen: Razzien und Festnahmen: Thailand nimmt ausländische Firmen ins Visier
Thailand wirbt bei der IWF-Tagung in Bangkok um Investoren. Gleichzeitig geht es wegen mutmaßlicher Regelverstöße gegen Tausende Firmen vor. Auch deutsche Investoren sind betroffen.
Bangkok hosts around 15,000 delegates for the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank annual conference. The Thai government presents its best face, offering conference attendees 15-minute massages, gourmet dry-aged fish, and changing rice dishes. A fleet of 200 BMW limousines is available to chauffeur top executives and politicians through the Thai capital.
Thai Finance Minister Ekniti Nitithanprapas sees this as an opportunity to demonstrate Thailand's willingness to collaborate with international investors for mutual growth. While delegates are preoccupied with massages and meals, thousands of foreign investors remain in the country, under scrutiny by Thai authorities. The government has issued over 300 arrest warrants and conducted more than 130 arrests, targeting firms suspected of evading local investment restrictions.
