Actor Rattapoom "Film" Tokongsup was given a suspended six-month jail term and fined 50,000 baht yesterday for providing illegal cash payment services via a mobile phone app.
The 33-year-old was among five defendants found guilty.
Prosecutors arraigned them on charges of providing the illegal payment services between October 2016 and Feb 20, 2017.
The directors of Payall Group, Rattapoom, Sarawut Nontapa, Thanet Jatawapornpanit and Pumipat Prasertwit were convicted. The company was the other defendant.
Initially, the court fined the directors 100,000 baht each and sentenced them to a year in prison. Because they confessed, the court halved the punishment. As the defendants had not previously faced imprisonment, the court suspended the term.
