As part of an investigation into alleged tax evasion, the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) seized 60 supercars from a major car importer on Thursday.
Some

Niche Cars Group's four-storey showroom in Suan Luang district on
suspicion of tax evasion, said DSI deputy chief Pol Lt-Colonel Kornwat
Panprapakorn who led the search.
The owner of the cars will have
to submit evidence to explain the legitimacy of the cars later, he
added. Kornwat was accompanied by DSI financial and banking division

Reporters were told that details of the operation would be announced in a press conference tomorrow.
The seizures were part of the
