Jittisopa Siriwan had about €250,000 frozen by the High Court in March 2015 after it found the money represented proceeds of criminal conduct.

The funds had been transferred from HSBC in the United Kingdom to a Dublin HSBC policy, according to the Criminal Assets Bureau.

The Bureau alleged the money came from bribes paid to her mother, former Thai tourism governor Juthamas Siriwan, over Bangkok film festival contracts.

The court’s finding was made on the balance of probabilities.
