Police seize buses of OA Transport Co in Bangkok last year during their crackdown on alleged zero-dollar tour scams. The company now faces asset seizures for alleged tax evasion. (File photo)The Anti-Money Laundering Office (Amlo) on Thursday placed a 90-day freeze on 4.25-billion-baht of zero-dollar tour operator OA Transport executives' assets, on suspicion of massive tax evasion. Mr Thongchai was among 13 parties earlier charged with running illegal zero-dollar tour services in which unusually cheap packages were sold to tourists who were then led to buy overpriced products and services from selected shops. The Criminal Court dropped the charges against them in August on grounds of insufficient evidence, and the tax evasion investigation followed.
