Bangkok:Police have enlisted experts to examine designer handbags owned by actress Boom Panadda, scrutinizing both old and new collections to verify their authenticity.
According to Thai News Agency, this examination is part of a broader investigation by the Economic Crime Suppression Division (ECSD), which recently conducted raids at a luxury condominium in the Sukhumvit area and a charitable foundation in Pathum Thani province. These raids are linked to an ongoing inquiry into the foundation's donations. During the operation, police seized numerous luxury brand-name bags, which are now being inspected by experts at the ECSD's Division 4 headquarters.
The experts are tasked with verifying the authenticity of the handbags and checking the details of each item. The decision to involve specialists came after several handbags, believed to be authentic, were initially discovered hidden in various locations within the searched premises. Police have requested that the media maintain a distance and avoid capturing images to ensure the investigation proceeds without interruption.
The outcome of the expert verification will be crucial in determining whether the handbags are genuine or counterfeit, and it may influence further developments in the investigation concerning the asset trail in this case.
