Luanda, ANGOLA, January 23 - The Angolan Supreme Court is due to send a letter rogatory to the Philippine Central Bank enquiring about the authenticity of the USD 50 billion cheque belonging to Raveeroj Ritchoteanan, a Thai citizen who has been accused in Angola of trying to defraud the Angolan State.,

The letter rogatory is to be sent by the Angolan National Bank (BNA) as part of the evidences being listed in the case known as “Thai Swindle”.

 

Last Friday, the public prosecution (MP) showed a letter that declared the lack of authenticity of the USD 50 billion cheque made available to the judicial authorities by Angola’s International Business Bank (BNI).

 

On his turn, on Tuesday, Raveeroj Ritchoteanan’s lawyer showed a cheque from the Philippine Central Bank containing information that confirm the authenticity of the check for Centennial Energy Company, Limited, owned by the defendant.

 

Since there are two checks with unequal information, the defence requested the judges to send a letter rogatory to confirm its authenticity.
