The wife of suspected black-magic conman Harn Raksajit, alias Nane Ae, has been arrested on charges of money laundering after five years on the run.

Police apprehended Chamaiporn Raksajit, 44, in Nonthaburi’s Muang district on Thursday afternoon on an arrest warrant issued by Saraburi Provincial Court, said Pol Lt Col Torsak Parnklinput of the Crime Suppression Division (CSD) sub-division 2.  

The Civil Court in 2010 ordered the seizure of illegally gained assets from Harn and his wife. The Anti-Money Laundering Office (Amlo) found Harn, who was returned to jail in August on charges of defrauding and sexually abusing a woman, had transferred millions of baht swindled from his "customers" to Mrs Chamaiporn’s bank accounts.

Mrs Chamaiporn then spent the money buying land and a commercial building in Nonthaburi, hoping to hide the ill-gotten gains, according to Pol Lt Col Torsak.  

Mrs Chamaiporn denied the charges and said she will testify only in court. 

Harn, better known as Nane Ae, had been released from jail after receiving a royal pardon on April 10, but was returned to prison four months later.

He was sentenced in July 2011, after 33 women accused him of cheating them. Some said he sexually abused them. He claimed he had supernatural powers and was able to bring good fortune through black magic.
