The DSI is currently reviewing various details after taking on the case of “Chonnapat and associates” involved in online gambling money laundering as a special case. Should evidence be found, a summons will be issued for “Chonnapat” to provide testimony at the investigation.
According to the Department of Special Investigation’s Technology and Information Case Division, they have taken on the investigation of Mr. Chonnapat Naksua and associates on charges of money laundering originating from the online gambling website named “AK47MAX,” accessible via www.ak47max.com. This has been registered as Special Case No. 150/2568 under the Special Case Investigation Act B.E. 2547 (2004) and its amendments. The investigation expands on financial trails related to Special Case No. 5/2566.
The latest progress as of 16 January 2026 reports that the Technology and Information Case Division, which accepted the case as Special Case No. 150/2568 since 2025, has been continuously collecting evidence. Preliminary findings show some links to Special Case No. 5/2566. However, investigators need to further examine details to clarify the complainant's allegations regarding who is involved, the origins of such involvement, connections to any online gambling websites, or links to any other DSI cases.
They are also reviewing asset-related actions taken by the Anti-Money Laundering Office (AMLO), which has seized and frozen assets from individuals connected to the online gambling cases. This is to verify factual details not just limited to the gambling websites but considering the broader contextual evidence.
Regarding whether summonses will be issued to Mr. Chonnapat or other related persons to give statements, the investigation team is still in the evidence-gathering phase. If any relevant evidence linking individuals is found, those persons will be invited to testify as witnesses.
For assets suspected to be involved in money laundering related to the online gambling case, if investigations confirm any property was acquired through criminal acts, investigators will coordinate with the Anti-Money Laundering Office (AMLO) to proceed according to legal procedures.
