Wednesday, May 20, 2026 -The heir to the Singha beer empire in Thailand has been sacked after his British brother accused him of a years-long campaign of incestual s£xual abuse.
Environmental activist Siranudh Scott posted a tearful video
alleging that his elder brother, Sunit 'Pi' Scott, had abused him between the
ages of 12 and 24 in their family's mansions.
Siranudh, 29, also called out his family, claiming they had
all known about the abuse after he played them Sunit's taped confession, but
swept it under the rug.
"Everyone in my family knows it because they listened
to the tape I recorded of his confession" but no one took action, he said,
declaring that he no longer wanted to be referred to as a "Singha
heir".
"I don't want to stay in a family that doesn't value me
or have empathy for me," he added through tears. "I can't live with
this kind of people."
Siranudh's brother Sunit had been "dismissed" from
all his positions, the conglomerate's parent company, Boonrawd Brewery Company,
said in a statement.
The company "would like to express its deepest regret
to Siranudh Scott for what happened", it said, adding it was cooperating
with authorities in their investigations.
It was signed by CEO Bhurit Bhirombhakdi, the two men's
cousin.
He also posted online a letter from Sunit in which the
accused man said: "In order to ensure fairness for all parties, I hereby
resign from my duties as an employee and executive ... until the matter is
clarified and conclusively proved."
Sunit previously denied the accusations of sexual abuse, but
acknowledged roughhouse play between boys.
The Bhirombhakdi family are listed as Thailand's 15th
richest by Forbes, which estimates their net worth at US$1.75 billion.
As well as Singha Beer, the group's other interests include
food manufacturing, hotels, power, and property.
