BANGKOK (AFP): A Thai court has issued an arrest warrant for the media mogul co-owner of the Miss Universe beauty pageant over alleged fraud worth $930,000, a court official told AFP on Wednesday.

This year's Miss Universe contest concluded last week after a streak of scandal, including a tantrum by the host and allegations of sexism.
