Anutin Confirms Idea MP Case Will Follow Law Without Exceptions

Anutin confirmed that the "Idea MP" case strictly follows the law without exceptions or concessions for anyone. He pointed out that the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) does not have to report every matter to the Prime Minister, except when there is a severe impact on the public. He also requested the media not to ask leading questions.


On 13 Nov 2026 GMT+7, Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Anutin Chanvirakul addressed rumors that the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) would halt its investigation into Ms. Suchada Sang Tanthasap, MP for Chaiyaphum from the Bhumjaithai Party. He stated that everything must proceed according to the law, following the principle of "anonymous behavior-based investigation." He reaffirmed his commitment to investigating to find facts and gather all evidence. If anyone is found involved, the law will be applied fully and without exception or leniency.


When asked whether the DSI had reported on this matter amid various rumors, Anutin said such matters do not need to be reported to the Prime Minister. There are 35 other ministers overseeing their respective ministries, each with departments led by permanent secretaries and directors-general responsible for their agencies. Only cases with severe impacts on government administration or the public’s welfare must be reported. If every agency reported daily, the Cabinet would have no time to work due to the vast number of government agencies.


When asked again whether he could confirm that the investigation would proceed fully, Anutin reaffirmed the principle of "anonymous behavior-based investigation" and asked the media not to ask leading questions.
