Overview
- Jakrajutatip was convicted on December 26, 2025 by Bangkok’s Kwaeng Sur District Court, which issued an arrest warrant after she failed to appear, and her whereabouts remain unconfirmed.
- The court found she misled an investor into buying roughly 30 million baht in JKN corporate bonds by providing false or incomplete financial information, and it fined JKN Global Group 40,000 baht.
- The criminal case began with a 2023 complaint from plastic surgeon Raveewat Maschamadol, who alleged he was induced to purchase the bonds under false pretenses.
- Thailand’s securities regulator imposed asset freezes and administrative bans, labeling her unfit to hold corporate positions and detailing broader alleged misconduct under investigation.
- The conviction intensifies uncertainty for the Miss Universe Organization, as separate legal scrutiny of co-owner Raúl Rocha Cantú and a paused $1.5 million tourism payment in Puerto Rico have fueled concerns about the 2026 event.
