Special Announcement - Updated May 2017

Many of you may remember that we started 2015 with a shocking find, discovering that, for several years, money had been systematically and fraudulently removed from BAMBI’s bank account by a former and highly trusted member of the BAMBI Committee. The case has since been in the hands of the Childbirth & Breastfeeding Foundation’s (CBFT) lawyers and in connection with the above please see the following statement:

On 27th October 2015, the Childbirth & Breastfeeding Foundation of Thailand (CBFT) on behalf of Bangkok Mother’s & Babies International (BAMBI) submitted a criminal case against Mrs. Ornanong Pongpairoj / Laokwansatitaya  (Khun Annie) to the Bangkok South Criminal Court on the charge that Mrs. Ornanong Pongpairoj made fake documents and used the aforesaid fake documents to cause damage to BAMBI. On 28th June 2016 the Court issued an arrest warrant for Mrs. Ornanong Pongpairoj on a charge in connection with the documents. The case is currently following the procedure for the arrest of the Defendant.

On the 9th May 2017 Oranong "Annie" Ponpairoj (ex BAMBI Treasurer and Assistant Treasurer) was arrested in connection with the criminal case submitted against her by the Childbirth & Breastfeeding Foundation of Thailand on behalf of Bangkok Mothers & Babies International (BAMBI) on the charge that she made fake documents and used them to cause damage to BAMBI. Following her arrest she was held at the South Bangkok Criminal Court. On the 11th May bail was requested and security placed for B1,000,000. She was subsequently released pending a Court hearing on 26th June at 9.a.m.
