Government Spokesperson Urges Opposition Party to Address Phuket MP's DSI Case
A government spokesperson has called on the People's Party (Prachachon) to clarify why a Phuket MP has postponed meetings with the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) three times regarding a nominee case.
On September 18, 2026, a government spokesperson publicly requested that the People's Party (Prachachon) provide an explanation regarding a Phuket Member of Parliament currently under investigation by the Department of Special Investigation (DSI). The inquiry centers on allegations of the MP’s involvement in a nominee case, which involves the potential use of proxy holders for assets.
The spokesperson expressed concern over the MP’s decision to postpone scheduled meetings with DSI officials on three separate occasions. According to the report from Matichon Online, there are fears that these repeated delays could facilitate the transfer of assets, potentially complicating the ongoing legal proceedings.
For residents and expatriates, this situation highlights an ongoing political focus on transparency and the enforcement of laws regarding asset ownership and nominee structures in Thailand. While the investigation is a matter of domestic political and legal scrutiny, it underscores the government's current stance on addressing potential financial irregularities involving public officials.
It remains to be confirmed whether the People's Party will issue a formal response to these allegations or if the DSI will take further action to compel the MP’s cooperation. As this is an active legal matter, the specific details regarding the assets in question and the MP's defense have not yet been fully disclosed to the public.
