Police set up “war room” to deal with World Cup online gambling

By Thai PBS

 

 

The Metropolitan Police is gearing up to fight illegal gambling ahead of the World Cup soccer tournament in Russia this week with action plan to seize bank accounts of the bookmakers in five minutes.

 

Deputy commissioner Pol Maj-Gen Panurat Lakboon said Monday that the bureau had set up a “war room” to monitor activities of illegal betting on online and mobile platforms, which will become officially operational on Wednesday – one day ahead of the official opening of the World Cup Russia tournament.

 

He said the war room would focus on attacking the financial sources of the illegal gambling operators with representatives of banks to be invited for discussion on measures to deal with the bookmakers, including seizure of their bank accounts within five minutes.

The worst country on the planet for road carnage 

 

Thailand can actually claim a genuine Hub and not even in SEA but in the world

 

I have another few Hubs they can claim but I better not say on here, it is to do with people in power and education

Major concern along with the lottery issues.  Get it together, and focus~law enforcement and education.  If you can't walk and chew gum, just pick one that is a priority
