Former Miss Universe co-owner Anne Jakrajutatip sentenced to 2 years in absentia for fraud in 30 million baht bond scheme.

Jakkaphong "Anne" Jakrajutatip, former co-owner of the Miss Universe Organization, was sentenced to two years in prison in absentia for fraud involving a 30 million baht corporate bond investment. The Bangkok court found her and JKN Global Group guilty of deceiving investor Raveewat Maschamadol by concealing the company’s financial distress. Jakrajutatip, who failed to appear in court, remains at large, with reports suggesting she may have fled Thailand. The case, tied to broader legal issues involving Miss Universe’s co-owner Raul Rocha in Mexico, marks a major crisis for the pageant brand.
