Abhisit acknowledges the upcoming no-confidence debate against a minister over the online gambling site "Shuffle.com," anticipating the DSI will handle the case involving the "Idea husband's" matter straightforwardly. He is concerned about the government's inconsistent actions, believing this will undermine confidence in Thailand's economy.
On 13 Nov 2026 at the Democrat Party office, Abhisit Vejjajiva, party list MP and party leader, addressed rumors that the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) would order a halt to the investigation of the Shuffle.com online gambling case involving the husband of Ms. Suchada Sang Tanthasap, MP for Chaiyaphum from the Bhumjaithai Party, claiming it does not qualify as a money laundering case from gambling. He said, "We are closely monitoring this issue and want the agency to consider it based on the facts because it affects confidence not only domestically but also internationally. Personally, I think the complaints involving gray capital and cross-border crimes are already under scrutiny. If there is no clear explanation on whether the case will be accepted or not, given the legal conditions, I want the DSI to handle this matter straightforwardly."
When asked if this issue would be raised in a no-confidence debate against ministers, Abhisit replied, "The debate day is approaching; please wait and see." He expressed concern about the current government's performance, which seems to neglect the crackdown on illegal businesses, while Thailand's financial system is under scrutiny for allegedly facilitating money laundering and other activities. "This undermines economic confidence and is widely criticized. We have observed various agencies' work, including investigations into this matter, which clearly show laxity and lack of transparency. Even when providing explanations to several parliamentary committees, clear answers regarding agency criteria were not given."
