Earlier, the Civil Sanction Committee (CSC)
resolved to impose civil sanctions on ten offenders*
in the case of manipulating the price and trading volume of TCC securities. The
sanctions include
a total civil monetary penalty of 59,780,191 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 and
derivatives for 14 months, 20 months, or 23 months, as the case may be, and a
bar from serving as directors or executives for 28 months, 40 months, and 46
months,
as the case may be.
In this regard, while the case was resolved at
the SEC level for eight offenders, two offenders, namely Miss Yupin Chaivikirai
and Mr. Naruechit Rojjanayangkoon, 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 two offenders in the Civil Court, seeking the imposition of civil sanctions
requiring them to pay a total amount of 7,268,810.30 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).
