90% fake? Police reveal findings on designer bags seized in Boom Panadda case

Thai police have announced that approximately 90% of the first batch of 32 designer handbags seized during an investigation into Boom Panadda Wongphudee's Tham Dee Foundation appear to be counterfeit. During searches of two condominiums registered in Panadda's name, officers confiscated 12 Louis Vuitton handbags, 11 scarves, four designer clothing items, and 53 pieces of jewelry.

The quality of the second batch of handbags appeared to be higher, but police cannot yet confirm their authenticity. Authorities are now examining the sources of funds used to purchase the luxury goods and investigating how Panadda acquired them.
