Bangkok: Distributors of The Icon Group have formally lodged a complaint with the Office of the Attorney General (OAG), seeking justice for the company amidst allegations of unfair treatment and account seizures.
According to Thai News Agency, nearly 100 representatives of The Icon Group, including Ms. Ariya or Mon-ing, Ms. Panatchawan or Lookpad, and Ms. Pranitphat or C, visited the OAG on Chaeng Watthana Road. They submitted a letter to the Attorney General addressing four major issues. The first issue concerns the alleged biased treatment in witness interrogations. While individuals claiming to be victims can file complaints at any police station nationwide, company witnesses do not receive similar facilitation. The Icon Group representatives pointed out that there are about 9,000 claimed victims, but nearly 2,000 company-side witnesses are reportedly not being interrogated equally.
The second issue involves accusations of public fraud against The Icon Group. The representatives presented evidence, such
as money transfer slips and customer delivery addresses, asserting that all product withdrawals have been completed as stated. They requested relevant agencies to thoroughly verify the nearly 9,000 alleged victims to identify genuine cases, as the company has not yet reviewed any of the victim claims.
The third issue relates to allegations of air stockpiling. Representatives explained that when police inspected their warehouse, it appeared empty due to 5,933 stock orders being withdrawn that day. They assured compliance with FDA regulations for all products.
The final issue pertains to the freezing of accounts, affecting both current and former dealers. This situation has reportedly led to financial hardships for many, including the inability to cover family expenses or children’s education costs. The representatives expressed frustration over bureaucratic delays and called for a resolution that allows the 19 suspects in The Icon Group case to be granted bail while they contest the accusations.
Mr. Sak Kas
emnitraiyok, spokesman for the OAG, stated that the case is still active, and the prosecutors will review the evidence and the letter submitted. He assured that the trial process would be impartial, considering both parties involved in the dispute.
