He raised concerns regarding the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) and the Anti-Money Laundering Office (NACC) seizing assets, searching homes, and issuing summonses. Mr. Chonnaphat Naksua, MP for Songkhla from the Kla Tham Party (KTh). (KTh), noting in part that there may be certain underlying political objectives, possibly aimed at intimidating and warning MPs both in Kla Tham and other parties not to be overly audacious. If anyone has a blemish or traces related to gray financial transactions and continues to behave improperly, they might soon face legal action.
Conversely, those who are compliant might continue living comfortably. Moreover, the Prachachon and Democrat parties (Dem) alone probably lack the capacity to negotiate with power factions to topple the government. If Kla Tham can be successfully restrained, the Bhumjaithai Party (BJT) need not worry about the opposition having any surprising or worrying tactics.
Wiroj also added that regarding the legal cases involving Chonnaphat and Ben Smith, these must proceed through the justice system as per the law. Both have the right to defend themselves, but he urges society to reflect that simply accusing these two individuals does not resolve the issues of scammers, human trafficking disguised as labor scams, and money laundering. These crimes are organized and backed by many influential figures behind the scenes. Society must keep up with them.
"It is not enough to accuse only these two and let it end there. The major players who remain free continue to operate as networks, committing wrongdoing, defrauding the public, laundering money, and harming honest businesses. If arrests are to be made, they must be thorough. No one is above the law."
