Cyber Police Detain Admin of 'Godd Dam' Page Over Defamation Allegations
Thai cyber police have detained the administrator of the 'Godd Dam' Facebook page following a viral post alleging a 7-million-baht bribe involving Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul.
On October 28, 2026, the Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau (CCIB) of Thailand apprehended the administrator of the Facebook page 'Godd Dam' for questioning. According to Khaosod Online, the arrest follows an investigation into a post that featured a fraudulent bank transfer slip for 7 million baht, which the page claimed was a bribe paid to Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Anutin Charnvirakul.
The investigation was initiated after Kasikornbank publicly clarified that the account number displayed in the post did not exist within their K PLUS system. Furthermore, the bank noted that standard transfer limits are capped at 5 million baht per day, rendering the alleged transaction technically impossible. Following these revelations, security officials and cyber police identified the individual behind the alias and secured a court-issued arrest warrant.
For residents and travelers, this incident highlights the strict enforcement of Thailand’s Computer Crime Act regarding the dissemination of false information online. While the suspect is currently undergoing interrogation, the case serves as a reminder of the legal risks associated with sharing unverified claims about public officials. It remains to be confirmed what specific charges will be formally filed against the administrator and how the judicial process will proceed. Authorities continue to monitor digital platforms for similar instances of misinformation.
