Korn urges the Prime Minister to expedite the 10-billion-baht money laundering case, directing all officials to diligently protect the nation's interests before the March 2 deadline. He hopes to see the new government take decisive action against grey capital.
26 February 2026 GMT+7 Korn Jatikavanich, Deputy Leader of the Democrat Party, demanded an update on the freezing of funds related to the scammer group, stating the Attorney General's Office must file charges against the scammer group for money laundering by 2 March 2026; otherwise, assets exceeding 10 billion baht, currently frozen by the Anti-Money Laundering Office (AMLO), will have to be returned to the accused. This deadline marks 90 days after the Prime Minister held a press conference announcing the asset freeze. He believes the prosecutors will not ignore the case but has heard whispers that the case file may not yet be sufficiently thorough to yield the desired court outcome.
"I admit I am concerned about this and earnestly urge the Prime Minister to oversee all involved officials to diligently safeguard the country's interests. The ongoing issue is the lack of expanded investigative results based on the existing evidence. The frozen funds have other suspicious transactions clearly linked to our stock market. The government must ensure these investigations proceed swiftly. I want to see the new government seriously committed to cracking down on grey capital."
