The Criminal Suppression Division (CSD) is looking for 199 individuals suspected of money laundering, as well as other crimes such as human trafficking and drug trafficking.

The court has already issued arrest warrants. approved for them. The CSD expects to be able to apprehend the criminals before the end of this month. CSD head Suthin calls it the largest operation in years against money laundering suspects.

Anti-money laundering is actually the responsibility of the Anti-Money Laundering Office, but it is understaffed. They do support the CSD.

    The Anti-Laundry Money Office should not hide behind the excuse of staff shortages and should start working with the CSD now.

    Their task was and is to detect money laundering, not in itself a criminal act for which the CSD is responsible.

    The border in Thailand between criminal and non-criminal is inimitable.

    Sometimes a civil legal process must first take place, in the event of a positive decision, a criminal prosecution can then be initiated on the basis of the civil decision.

    Only among the Farang is the concept of criminal law used rather quickly, with all its consequences.

    199 people, that's quite a few and will certainly mean the necessary time and manpower. Anyway, good that this is being addressed. The court is aware of it and has issued the arrest warrants. Let's hope that this will all work out because money launderers are figures that society can do without.
    We're not going to shed a tear about that. As far as I am concerned this report is very positive. The interrogations of those money launderers will have to show to what extent they are involved in the trade of drugs and people smuggling and exploitation, etc., and who their minions are in evil. Hopefully many heads will roll and they will grumble for a long time.
