Prime Minister Anutin Files Defamation Charges Over Fake Transfer Slip

On October 28, 2026, Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Anutin Charnvirakul instructed his legal team to file a formal complaint at Thong Lo Police Station. The legal action targets Rukchanok Srinork, a list MP from the People's Party, and a 26-year-old individual identified as the owner of the 'Godd Dam' social media page. The complaint follows the circulation of a falsified bank transfer slip for 7 million baht, which falsely named the Prime Minister as the recipient and characterized the funds as a bribe. The 'Godd Dam' page originally published the image, which was subsequently shared by Rukchanok on her social media accounts. The charges filed include defamation and violations of the Computer Crime Act. For residents and visitors, this incident highlights the ongoing sensitivity surrounding political discourse and the legal risks associated with sharing unverified digital content in Thailand. While the legal process has commenced, the specific details regarding the investigation and the potential defense arguments from the accused parties remain to be confirmed by the authorities.
