PPRP deputy spokesman denies extortion claims
Samart Janechaijitrawanich claims the voice in the viral audio clip is not his and threatens legal action against anyone trying to link him to it
A deputy spokesman of former coalition member, Palang Pracharath Party (PPRP), denied allegations that he tried to extort money from the beleaguered iCon Group as heard in a viral clip.
Samart Janechaijitrawanich said on Monday that the voice heard in the audio clip was not his and said he would sue anybody who tries to link him to that recorded conversation.
He also said that he was currently travelling overseas and would speak to the media once he returned.
Hundreds of people have filed complaints against iCon Group, claiming they were allegedly deceived into joining its pyramid scheme, which was disguised as an MLM (multilevel marketing) direct-sales business.
In the clip, which went viral on social media, a man was heard saying he could save iCon Group executives from facing a grilling by House panels.
