The case concerns a highly publicised dispute between retired policeman Charoon Wimul, 62, and teacher Preecha Kraikruan, 50, about the real ownership of five lottery tickets that won Bt30 million in the November 1 draw. Charn said the findings by the CSD team would lead to the arrest of more than two people because there were several alleged accomplices. He said the CSD team had conducted a deep probe based on scientific evidence. In the dispute, Preecha claimed he had two lottery vendors as witnesses to prove that he bought the winning tickets but lost them. Charoon’s side claims that Charoon became the victim of a conspiracy to try to cheat him of the Bt30 million.
