NACC secretary-general Worawit Sukboon said they had sought clarification from Gen Prawit on four occasions in response to allegations that he had made a false assets declaration. The NACC also sought information from witnesses, local dealers of luxury brand watches, the Customs Department and the Foreign Ministry and from overseas luxury watch manufacturers. The commission found that Patthawat had been a rich businessman and collected luxury watches. He had often offered financial help and lent luxury watches to old friends from Saint Gabriel's College, including Gen Prawit, Mr Worawit said. At Patthawat's residence, the NACC found 20 luxury watches and a warranty for another watch that Gen Prawit had been seen wearing.
