[snoop1130]

 

BANGKOK (NNT) - An investigation relating to the money laundering charge against Tuhao, a Chinese man accused of running illegal businesses in Thailand, will be treated as a special case by the Department of Special Investigation. The police have previously seized some 4 billion baht worth of assets from this suspect, in the forms of land deeds, houses, cars, and motorcycles.

 

The Ministry of Justice today announced that the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) will be handling Mr. Tuhao’s case. The announcement was made by Minister of Justice Somsak Thepsuthin, together with officials from the DSI and Office of the Narcotics Control Board.

 

The handover of this case to the DSI was requested by Mr. Chuwit Kamolvisit, a former politician and nightlife business tycoon, who has been exposing the network of a Chinese crime syndicate involved in the so-called grey businesses in Thailand.

 

The DSI decided to accept Mr. Chuwit’s request. The department is now investigating if more people are involved.

 

DSI Deputy Director General Pol Maj Yuthana Praedam said other criminal charges linked to Mr. Tuhao are still being handled by the attorney-general and the police.

Of course it will, given the huge sums involved.

So as not to implicate any influential Thais that have been working with these businesses?

or those that have received certain donations?

"will be treated as a special case by the Department of Special Investigation. The police have previously seized some 4 billion baht worth of assets from this suspect, in the forms of land deeds, houses, cars, and motorcycles."

 

So what does this mean?

Does the DSI want a cut? Four billion is a lot of money?
