Thailand’s Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has launched legal action against Boon Vanasin, the former owner and CEO of major healthcare company Thonburi Healthcare Group (THG), after filing a criminal complaint with the Economic Crime Suppression Division (ECD) and the Anti-Money Laundering Office (AMLO) on Friday.

In the interview, Boon claimed that neither he nor his family had ever pledged or borrowed against their THG shares, either on or off the market. However, the SEC’s inquiry found evidence of instances where Boon and his group had, in fact, allegedly pledged substantial amounts of THG shares to various individuals.
