Police in hot water: 8 officers nabbed in online gambling network crackdown

[webfact]

 

An investigation into an online gambling network has led to the issuance of arrest warrants for eight police officers suspected of managing gambling websites and profiting from them. The search, which took place today, spanned over 30 locations in six provinces nationwide.

 

The operation aimed to dismantle the extensive online gambling network connected to Betflixroyal.com and additional online gambling websites. This operation stemmed from the arrest of three suspects back in July, which subsequently led to the identification of 23 more individuals involved in the online gambling operations. Among the 23, eight were police officers.

 

Tri Rong Phiwphan, the Commanding General of the Legal and Litigation Office, stated that the operational structure of the syndicate was divided into four categories of offences: 1. Online gambling website management, 2. Account sourcing, 3. Financial and account management, and 4. Benefiting from the aforementioned ‘account sourcing.’

Where would one expect to find a higher concentration of crooks?

I didn't phrase it well enough; every one knows that the RTP is riddled with crooks.  My point is that only rarely have these crooks been identified until just recently.  Of course identifying them and punishing them are two different things.

So good to see the ROYAL T P don't tarnish their reputation.

Plenty of new "inactive posts" then?

In the RTP's "inactive post" departments nationwide?
