The Narcotics Police Chief revealed that authorities are currently intensifying their detailed examination of the "TKP network" financial flows. They have requested bank statements and identified at least 50 accounts so far. Plans are underway to extend investigations to connect other offenses. He admitted that the suspects have not cooperated during questioning.
At 10:00 a.m. on 30 Dec 2025 GMT+7, at the Narcotics Suppression Bureau headquarters, Pol. Lt. Gen. Achayon Kraithong, the bureau chief, spoke about the case involving suspects linked to the TKP money laundering network, including Boonrit Raorungroj, a former candidate for Member of Parliament in Bangkok's District 33, and others. Investigators are in the process of gathering evidence across multiple stages, both during pre-arrest investigations and post-arrest interrogations, carefully compiling relevant documents and evidence into the case file.
Investigators continue to question all four suspects within the legal 48-hour custody period. Because the case involves documents from multiple companies and numerous financial transactions, coordination is required among agencies including the Anti-Money Laundering Office, the Office of the Narcotics Control Board, and the Ministry of Commerce.
Similarly, requests for bank statements have been made to examine financial routes involving no fewer than 50 accounts, necessitating thorough and careful review.
Regarding suspicions about financial links to political parties, Pol. Lt. Gen. Achayon stated this case concerns individual actions. Sufficient evidence has been gathered well before the election period, so the focus remains primarily on the arrested suspects.
He acknowledged that the suspects have not cooperated with questioning, which is within their rights to choose how to respond. Especially in today's additional interrogations, suspects may or may not cooperate. Therefore, it is the investigators' responsibility to collect evidence as thoroughly and carefully as possible while ensuring fairness to all parties.
Certainly, the investigation will be expanded because this case has been ongoing for some time and likely has a timeline connecting to multiple circles. Likewise, financial flows indicate funds entering various sectors, but it remains to be seen whether there are connections to other offenses such as scams or nominee arrangements.
Whether the suspects will implicate others remains to be seen. The investigation will continue to completion to evaluate the suspects' statements as well as testimonies from witnesses or other evidence to determine consistency and potential for further leads.
