Lawyer Sitra Files DSI Complaint Against 'Gun Jompalang' Over Gambling Allegations

On September 21, 2026, lawyer Sitra Biebangkerd, known as 'Tam,' visited the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) to submit evidence and request a formal inquiry into Kanthat Pongpaiboonvej, widely known as 'Gun Jompalang.' Sitra is calling for an investigation into whether the activist has any involvement with online gambling platforms.

Sitra has specifically requested that authorities examine financial trails, including transactions involving Kanthat’s family members and close associates, to determine if there are any illicit connections. During his appearance at the DSI, Sitra stated that his intention is to verify facts rather than harass the individual, asserting that those with nothing to hide should not fear scrutiny. He also indicated plans to disclose details regarding a financial trail valued at over 200 million baht.

For residents and travelers in Thailand, this development highlights an ongoing public dispute between two high-profile figures. While the situation is currently a matter of legal investigation, it underscores the heightened scrutiny surrounding online gambling and financial transparency in the country. As of now, these are merely allegations presented by Sitra to the DSI. It remains to be confirmed whether the DSI will accept the case for a full investigation or if Kanthat will provide a formal rebuttal to these claims. No official charges have been filed against Kanthat at this stage.
