The Special Case Investigation Team has indefinitely postponed the meeting on the senators' organized crime and money laundering case following the Cabinet's decision to remove Police Lieutenant Colonel Yutthana from the DSI Director seat. He was reassigned to a special advisory role at the Government House. The team must now wait for Police Lieutenant Colonel Piya Raksakul, the newly appointed DSI Director, to assume the position and provide policy direction.
On 23 September 2026, reporters reported internal developments within the Department of Special Investigation (DSI). Due to the planned replacement of DSI Director from Police Lieutenant Colonel Yutthana Phraedam to Police Lieutenant Colonel Piya Raksakul, the criminal case concerning organized crime and money laundering involving senators immediately showed signs of delay.
Originally, the DSI Special Case Investigation Team and prosecutors from the Investigation Office had planned to meet at the end of September to set the framework and approach for further investigation, including gathering additional evidence as ordered by the Special Prosecutor who had returned the case file. However, following the Cabinet's resolution to transfer Police Lieutenant Colonel Yutthana Phraedam from his position as DSI Director—who also serves as head of the Special Case Investigation Team—to a special advisory role at the Prime Minister's Office equivalent to level C11, the initial meeting of the investigation team on the senators' organized crime and money laundering case was postponed indefinitely.
No new date has been set for the meeting until Police Lieutenant Colonel Piya Raksakul is officially appointed as DSI Director. The investigation team on the senators' organized crime and money laundering case must wait for Piya to assume office to receive guidance and policy direction, especially regarding the case linked to corruption in the Senate member election. It remains to be seen how Piya will direct and emphasize procedures for investigating this case so that the DSI can complete a thorough investigation before resubmitting the case file to the Special Prosecutor.
