Forex-3D Case Update: DSI Targets September Submission

On September 2, 2026, Thailand’s Minister of Justice, Police Lieutenant General Rutthapol Naowarat, provided an update regarding the ongoing Forex-3D investigation. Speaking at Government House, the Minister addressed inquiries concerning potential financial links between the case and list-MP Pawut Pongvitayapanu of the People's Party.

According to the Minister, the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) is currently accelerating its inquiry. While he noted that he has not been briefed on the specific details of the evidence or the testimony provided by the MP, he confirmed that investigators have established a timeline to forward the case file to public prosecutors before the end of September 2026. The exact date of this submission remains unconfirmed.

For residents and expatriates, this development signals a significant step in a long-running financial fraud case that has previously implicated various public figures. While the case primarily concerns domestic legal and political accountability, it remains a high-profile matter of public interest in Thailand. It is important to note that the Minister emphasized he does not have access to the internal details of the investigation, and the final outcome of the DSI’s findings has yet to be determined. Further updates are expected as the DSI concludes its evidence gathering process later this month.
