Court Rejects Arrest Warrant Request for 'Godd Dam' Page Admin
Thai police are gathering additional evidence after a court rejected an initial request to arrest the administrator of the 'Godd Dam' Facebook page over alleged false claims involving the Prime Minister.
On October 27, 2026, the Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau (CCIB) reported that a court has returned a request for an arrest warrant concerning the administrator of the 'Godd Dam' social media page. The page had previously published a bank transfer slip claiming that 7 million baht was deposited into an account belonging to Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul, alleging the funds were a bribe.
Police investigators, led by Commissioner Lt. Gen. Thinnakorn Rangmat, stated that they have gathered evidence, including bank records, which indicate that no such account or transaction exists. Authorities are pursuing charges related to the input of false information into a computer system. Following the court's review of the initial submission, investigators have been instructed to compile further evidence before re-submitting the request.
For residents and visitors, this case highlights the ongoing scrutiny of online content and the strict enforcement of laws regarding digital misinformation in Thailand. While the police intend to file a new request for an arrest warrant on October 28, 2026, the legal process remains ongoing. It is important to note that the allegations made by the page have been officially disputed by law enforcement, and the final determination of the administrator's legal status rests with the court's future decision.
