Earlier, the Civil Sanction Committee (CSC) resolved to impose civil sanctions on two offenders* in the case of manipulating the price or trading volume of MSC shares. The sanctions include a total payment of 249,848,464 baht (comprising civil penalties, compensation at the equal amount to the benefits 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 11 months or 14 months (as the case may be) and a bar from serving as directors or executives for 22 months or 28 months (as the case may be).

In this regard, while one offender agreed to comply with the civil sanctions imposed by the CSC, Miss Paranya Rudjanapronpajee refused to do so, 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 Miss Paranya in the Civil Court, seeking the imposition of civil sanctions requiring her to pay a total amount of 332,307,757.52 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).
