Thai court issues warrant for Miss Universe co-owner

A court in Thailand said on Wednesday that it has issued an arrest warrant for a co-owner of the Miss Universe Organisation in connection with a fraud case. Jakkaphong “Anne” Jakrajutatip was charged with fraud then released on bail in 2023. She failed to appear as required in a Bangkok court on Tuesday. Since she did not notify the court about her absence, she was deemed to be a flight risk, according to a statement from the Bangkok South District Court. The court rescheduled the hearing for December 26. According to the court’s statement, Jakkaphong and her company, JKN Global Group Public Co Ltd, were sued for allegedly defrauding Raweewat Maschamadol in selling him the company’s corporate bonds in 2023.
