Thai Regulator Freezes Assets of Miss Universe Co-Owner, Orders JKN Delisted

The move stems from alleged fraud schemes of about $16 million that already prompted a court to issue an arrest warrant.

Overview

  • The Thai Securities and Exchange Commission labeled Jakkaphong 'Anne' Jakrajutatip unfit for business, froze her assets for an initial 180 days, and barred her from public-company roles and foreign travel.
  • The regulator directed JKN Global Group’s removal from Thailand’s stock market starting tomorrow following findings of alleged embezzlement, use of proxies, and sham contracts.
  • A Bangkok South Kwaeng court issued an arrest warrant on November 25 after Jakrajutatip failed to appear for the case’s closing, and no new sentencing details were released today.
  • Her whereabouts remain unknown and she has not publicly responded to the accusations or the arrest order.
  • Co-owner Raúl Rocha Cantú faces a Mexican arrest warrant and frozen accounts in a separate probe, with a recent court action lifting protections against his detention, while Miss Universe says it is undergoing an internal transition without operational details.
