Thai Sang Thai Party Supports AMLOs Expanded Investigation into Politicians Linked to Scammer Money Laundering

The Thai Sang Thai Party spokesperson supports AMLO's expansion of investigations into politicians linked to scammer money laundering after Chen Zhi and Guo An had their assets frozen.

On 3 Dec 2025 GMT+7, Pariyeth Angurakitti, spokesperson for the Thai Sang Thai Party (TST), commented on the Anti-Money Laundering Office's (AMLO) asset freeze of Chen Zhi and Guo An. He referred to reports of financial links extending to various individuals and entities, such as "Ben Smith." He stated that the asset freezes are proper procedures that should be conducted transparently and thoroughly in all aspects. When assets connected to fraudulent schemes or potential money laundering are frozen, public agencies should clearly disclose the investigative process so the public understands it. The investigation should swiftly expand to cover all related networks, as available information indicates financial links to numerous individuals and companies, including those named in the reports. Crucially, authorities must verify whether the money alleged to be part of the scammer network has flowed into political circles through politicians or political parties, to prevent illegal funds from influencing Thailand's political system.

The Thai Sang Thai Party spokesperson said that if the investigation is transparent and comprehensive, it could significantly expand and dismantle the network. This work should proceed alongside other agencies currently intensively examining financial routes linked to the stock market or certain securities firms. He also urged the public to closely monitor government agencies' activities, especially as elections approach, a period when illegal money risks entering the political and capital markets. He expressed confidence that rigorous scrutiny will reduce risks and genuinely build public trust.
