Big Golf, Commander of the Narcotics Suppression Bureau, emphasized that the case involving an MP candidate connected to drug trafficking and money laundering is still ongoing. Prosecutors have only dropped charges against some individuals. The police are preparing to file an objection to the Attorney General, affirming that the investigation is proceeding straightforwardly based on the evidence.
Regarding reports on social media about prosecutors dropping charges against a former MP candidate arrested during the recent election, today (20 Jun 2026) Pol. Lt. Gen. Achayon Kraithong, Commander of the Narcotics Suppression Bureau, disclosed that in December 2025, investigators from Narcotics Suppression Division 2 conducted extended investigations from a major drug trafficking case. They uncovered financial connections linked to suspects, which led to dismantling the network, conducting raids, arrests, and asset seizures as previously reported.
Investigators from Narcotics Suppression Division 2 compiled evidence to prosecute 11 suspects in this network, all charged with money laundering by transferring or receiving assets related to criminal acts to conceal or hide their source, or to assist others before, during, or after the crime. The case files with prosecution requests were submitted to prosecutors around March 2026. Subsequently, prosecutors decided not to indict some suspects and returned the files to the Royal Thai Police Chief for legal review under Criminal Procedure Code Section 145/1.
The Royal Thai Police have received the investigation files and prosecutors' opinions and are preparing to file objections against the non-indictment decisions on some suspects. These objections will be forwarded to the Attorney General. For other charges, prosecutors continue to prosecute the suspects according to the law.
Investigators and prosecutors from the Narcotics Suppression Bureau jointly conducted thorough and straightforward investigations, gathering all types of evidence from 10 drug cases. They found evidence linking the network of 11 suspects in this case, leading to court-approved arrest warrants issued by the Criminal Court. This facilitated raids, arrests, and asset seizures related to the case, as previously reported, Pol. Lt. Gen. Achayon said.
