Dr. Nattawut Requests Transfer of Fraud Case to Crime Suppression Division

On September 13, 2026, Thai Post reported that Dr. Nattawut intends to submit a formal request to the National Police Chief on September 14. The petition seeks to transfer the investigation involving Somchai, Parinya, Yingcheep, and their associates—who are accused of public fraud and money laundering—from the Thong Lo Police Station to the Crime Suppression Division (CSD).

Dr. Nattawut has publicly criticized the current handling of the case by the Superintendent of Thong Lo Police Station, citing concerns over the slow pace of the investigation. Furthermore, he has questioned why arrest warrants have not yet been requested for the accused individuals.

For residents and visitors, this development highlights ongoing scrutiny regarding the efficiency of local law enforcement procedures in high-profile legal matters. While the case involves allegations of financial crimes, it remains a domestic legal dispute. It is important to note that these are currently allegations, and the request for a transfer of jurisdiction is a procedural step that has not yet been granted. Whether the National Police Chief will approve the transfer or if the investigation will remain under the jurisdiction of the Thong Lo station remains to be confirmed.
