SEC requests the public prosecutor to file a lawsuit against four offenders in the Civil Court for manipulating the TRITN share price



Monday 18 May 2026 | No. 104 / 2026


Bangkok, 18 May 2026 – The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has requested the public prosecutor to file a lawsuit against four offenders in a case relating to manipulating the share price or trading volume of Triton Holding Public Company Limited (TRITN) to seek the imposition of civil sanctions with the maximum applicable statutory penalties.

Earlier, the Civil Sanction Committee (CSC) resolved to impose civil sanctions on four offenders in the case of manipulating the price of TRITN shares. The sanctions include a total civil monetary penalty of 34,379,151 baht (comprising civil penalties, compensation at an equal amount to the benefit received or should have been received, and reimbursements of investigative expenses incurred by the SEC). In addition, the offenders are subject to a suspension from trading securities or derivatives for 14 months, 11 months (2 offenders), and 9 months, as the case may be, and a bar from serving as directors or executives for 28 months, 22 months (2 offenders), and 18 months, as the case may be.

In this regard, all four offenders refused to extinguish the case in accordance with the civil sanctions imposed by the CSC, which is deemed a refusal to resolve the case at the SEC level.

The SEC has therefore submitted a written request to the public prosecutor to file a lawsuit against the four offenders in the Civil Court, seeking the imposition of civil sanctions requiring them to pay a total amount of 40,923,541.40 baht plus interest, together with a suspension from trading securities and derivatives and a bar from serving as a director or executive, at the maximum statutory penalties. In addition, the SEC has referred this matter to the Anti-Money Laundering Office (AMLO) for further action within its authority, as the unfair securities trading misconduct constitutes a predicate offense under the Anti-Money Laundering Act B.E. 2542 (1999).
