Ministry of Justice Receives Complaint Regarding Election Barcode Case
An anonymous individual has petitioned the Ministry of Justice to investigate several public figures and media personnel over allegations of forming a secret society related to election barcode photos.
On October 21, 2026, Thai Post reported that an anonymous individual submitted a formal petition to the Ministry of Justice. The complaint requests an investigation into a group of individuals, including Parit, Somchai, 'Lawyer Aun,' Parinya, Thammathee, Thanarat, and a photographer from Spacebar, regarding allegations of forming a secret society (ang-yi).
The petition centers on the handling and analysis of photographs depicting election ballot barcodes. The Ministry of Justice has accepted the request and forwarded the case to the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) to conduct a formal inquiry into the matter.
For residents and travelers, this development highlights an ongoing legal dispute involving political figures and media entities. While the case is currently in the investigative stage, it underscores the sensitivity surrounding election-related materials and public discourse in Thailand.
It remains to be confirmed whether the DSI will find sufficient evidence to proceed with formal charges or if the investigation will conclude without further legal action. As this is an active legal matter, the public should await official updates from the Department of Special Investigation regarding the validity of the claims and the potential implications for those named in the petition.
