Roi Et Livestock Farm Linked to 93-Million-Baht Laundering Network

Police confiscated assets worth more than 93.3 million baht during a raid on a livestock farm in Roi Et allegedly used to launder drug money. The investigation began after two suspects were caught with 62,000 methamphetamine tablets in November and later led officers to other members of a regional trafficking operation. Investigators believe the network was directed by a man named Niphon, who is thought to be hiding in Laos and communicating with associates through the LINE application. Authorities seized farmland, vehicles, motorcycles, livestock, fighting cocks, ornamental buffaloes and purebred cattle linked to the farm and associated bank accounts. Police described the raid as a major setback for the northeastern drug network, although Niphon remains at large.
