Some 40 Lamboghinis and 20 supercars of various brands were seized from Niche Cars Group’s four-storey showroom in Suan Luang district on suspicion of tax evasion, said DSI deputy chief Pol Lt-Colonel Kornwat Panprapakorn who led the search.

The owner of the cars will have to submit evidence to explain the legitimacy of the cars later, he added. Kornwat was accompanied by DSI financial and banking division director Pol Lt-Colonel Pakorn Suchiwakul during the search.

Reporters were told that details of the operation would be announced in a press conference tomorrow.

The seizures were part of the warranted operation to search nine locations across Bangkok.
