Thai actress Min Pechaya is among the 18 suspects arrested on Nov 4 over alleged multi-level marketing fraud in the iCon Group scheme, which has led to losses totaling approximately 2.41 billion baht (or about $71.5 million).

According to a report by Kbizoom, Min is now trying to secure bail of 3 million baht ($90,000) along with two other suspects after a previous bail request was rejected.

DSI is also looking into Pechaya and her alleged accomplices, following iCon Group's sales data and tracing money over the previous year.

DSI said that the transfers associated with fraudulent funds received by Min over the past two years amounted to 11.39 million baht ($350,000).

The Anti-Money Laundering Office and the Central Investigation Bureau have focused their scrutiny on the financial records of high-profile suspects, including Min and the other suspects.

It has gathered evidence to strengthen the case while working alongside the Consumer Protection Board and Office of Financial Policy at the DSI.

Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra has made it clear to the public that the case 'is moving forward' as explained by a deputy spokesperson of the government, as both the Royal Thai Police and the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) are working together on this.

The scope of the alleged scheme is underlined by the fact that around 10,000 complaints from affected persons have been filed with police since late October.

Previously, Min had held a press conference denying that she had any personal relationship with iCon Group, but has been accused of receiving economic benefits from her connection to the company.
