The Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau (CCIB) has dismantled a major online gambling operation in Pathum Thani province, arresting a key suspect and seizing assets worth more than 56 million baht.

 

On the orders of Police Lieutenant General Trirong Phiwphan, Commissioner of the CCIB, officers executed a court-approved search warrant at a residence in a private housing estate in Khlong Luang District on 6 August.

 

There, they apprehended 30-year-old Taweesak, who is alleged to have managed financial operations and cash withdrawals for the illegal gambling website Auto888vip.com. The site reportedly had around 3,000 registered users per month and processed cash withdrawals totalling approximately 20 million baht monthly over the past six months.

 

During the raid, police seized an extensive array of high-value assets, including:

 

• A Mercedes-Benz CLS53 worth 5 million baht

• A BMW M4 worth 10 million baht

• 28 million baht in cash

• Luxury watches including Patek Philippe and Rolex valued at 3.4 million baht

• Branded jewellery and designer clothing worth over 2.6 million baht

• Several mobile phones and bank books

 

In addition, a house and plot of land worth 7 million baht were frozen pending further investigation.

 

Authorities believe Auto888vip.com was a well-established gambling platform and are now working to track down other individuals involved in the network. The investigation is ongoing.
