"just days after Fatima Bosch was crowned Miss Universe in Thailand, the co-owners of the organisation are both facing arrest warrants. On Wednesday Mexican media revealed that Raul Rocha Cantu, the Mexican businessman who owns half of the Miss Universe Organisation, was under investigation for drug, gun and fuel trafficking between Guatemala and Mexico. Rocha, whose conglomerate spans industry, casinos and the beauty pageant, has denied wrongdoing."
"The other half of the Miss Universe Organisation is owned by the Thai media mogul Jakkaphong Jakrajutatip, for whom an arrest warrant was also this week issued by a Thai court. Jakkaphong is accused of fraud by a plastic surgeon, who says she concealed information when persuading them to invest in her company, JKN Global Group. A verdict for the case was due on Tuesday, but Jakkaphong failed to appear in court prompting the judge to order her arrest,"
This year's Miss Universe saw new controversy as both co-owners of the organisation faced arrest warrants days after the crowning of Fatima Bosch. Mexican media reported that Raul Rocha Cantu, who owns half of the organisation, is under investigation for drug, gun and fuel trafficking between Guatemala and Mexico; Rocha denied wrongdoing. The other co-owner, Thai media mogul Jakkaphong Jakrajutatip, was issued an arrest warrant after a plastic surgeon accused her of concealing information to secure investments in JKN Global Group; she failed to appear for a verdict and a judge ordered her arrest as a flight risk. Earlier pageant turmoil included onstage injuries and a viral contestant walkout.
