Actress 'Boom' arrested; as husband surrenders to police
Police apprehended Panadda "Boom" Wongphudee at her house on Friday while her husband, Atip "Got" Anantawan, surrendered to authorities to fight serious charges, including public fraud and money laundry.
Panadda Boom Wongphudee, a 50-year-old actress and social activist, was arrested by police in Bangkok on Friday morning. Her husband, Atip Got Anantawan, a real estate investor and fitness professional, had surrendered to authorities the day prior to face serious charges. The couple was arrested on Thursday evening when warrants were issued, but police waited until the following day before taking action.
Panadda, who is the president of the Goodness Foundation, remains in her home with her lawyer following her arrest. CIB police conducted searches at her residence and both of her foundation offices in Pathum Thani and Bangkok, seeking evidence to support the allegations. The couple faces three charges, including misuse of funds, money laundering, and violation of the Computer Crime Act, after donations to the foundation were allegedly misused for personal gain.
