According to a report by Matichon Online on October 20, 2026, the Anti-Money Laundering Office (AMLO) has expanded its enforcement actions against an online gambling network. Authorities have successfully seized an additional 44 million baht in assets, which include both digital currencies and physical cash.
This operation is part of an ongoing investigation into a network linked to Member of Parliament Chonnanpat. The seizure represents a significant step in the government's broader crackdown on illegal gambling operations that utilize digital financial infrastructure to launder proceeds.
