Thailand’s infamous monk-on-the-run Luang Pu Nenkham Chattigo apparently bought a fleet of Mercedes Benz cars.
Investigators learned that between the years of 2008 and 2011, the monk purchased 22 luxury cars in cash, of which 21 of them were in his own name. The 22nd car, worth BHT7.59 million, was bought under the name of his disciple Pansaeng Chumang.
Luang, who recently fled to the United States from Paris, is under investigation for a string of charges ranging from money-laundery to fathering a child. A DNA test on whether Luang is the child’s father should be available tomorrow, authorities said.
