"Sika Golf" Detained on Malfeasance, Money Laundering Charges; Investigation Expands to Two Other Cases Bangkok, July 17, 2025 – Ms. Wilawan Aemsawat, widely known as "Sika Golf," has been placed in detention today. She faces charges of supporting malfeasance by a state official (under Section 147 of the Criminal Code), joint money laundering, conspiracy to commit money laundering, and receiving stolen property. Authorities are also expanding their investigation into two additional cases based on clear financial transaction evidence. These new probes involve a former director of the Phichit Provincial Office of Buddhism and a former monk from Wat Sothon. This development suggests a broader crackdown on alleged illicit financial activities and abuse of power.
