(Photo by Somchai Poomlard)Police issued a second summons for actress Napapa "Patt" Tantrakul to hear a charge of conspiracy in money laundering linked to a Lao drug kingpin after she failed to do so on Thursday. Police found that the actress received 1.9 million baht from her husband Akarakit "Benz Racing" Worarojcharoendet. Ms Napapa married Mr Akarakit, also 30, last November and gave birth to a child in mid-February. Police investigators accuse Mr Akarakit of colluding to launder money with Mr Natthaphol, who was arrested on Feb 1 in connection with the Xaysana drug network. Mr Natthaphol had allegedly supplied Mr Akarakit with money earned from drug trafficking, and he had used it to buy properties and run businesses.
