Sirichok Provides Testimony to DSI Regarding Online Gambling Allegations
Former politician Sirichok has submitted information to the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) concerning alleged links between a Member of Parliament and an online gambling network.
On October 20, 2026, Matichon Online reported that Sirichok provided testimony to Thailand’s Department of Special Investigation (DSI). The investigation centers on the 'Shuffle' gambling den, which is reportedly linked to the 'Taiyang Shang' network.
During his appearance, Sirichok raised questions regarding a Member of Parliament (MP) known as 'Idea.' He specifically questioned why the MP appointed her husband as a secretary to the Minister of Digital Economy and Society, given her alleged awareness of his involvement in online gambling operations.
For residents and travelers in Thailand, this development highlights ongoing government efforts to dismantle illegal online gambling syndicates. While these investigations are primarily political and legal in nature, they underscore the authorities' focus on the intersection of digital infrastructure and illicit financial activities.
It remains to be confirmed whether the DSI will find sufficient evidence to substantiate these claims or if formal charges will be filed against the individuals mentioned. As the investigation is ongoing, the public is advised to monitor official announcements from the DSI for further updates. SawaLife does not provide legal advice or commentary on the validity of these allegations.
