A Customs Department investigation found that at least 123 may be part of a tax-evasion scam, dodging tax payments worth 1.8 billion baht in total. Meanwhile, Seri Shinbarami, managing director of Niche Cars Group, which had a total of 60 Lamborghinis and Ferraris seized by the DSI, is known to have petitioned the DSI lobbying for the return of his vehicles. "As such, the DSI investigators and the prosecutors have resolved to return them to their owners." The DSI will levy the correct taxes when it receives the paperwork in the event of any discrepancies, the source added. However, the DSI had not yet sent the information about the prices of the cars owned by the three companies to the Customs Department, which is responsible for assessing import tax.
