Ukraine Russian Transport Minister Dies by Suicide Hours After Dismissal by Putin
Found dead in his Tesla....... Stories circulating that he was found before he was sacked. But why are top Russians still driving American Teslas. Musk surely has the means to brick every single one, preferebly about 8am local time, on a cold wet November. Plus Tesla will have a full record of owners. -

Crime Malaysian National Arrested in Bangkok for Running Illegal Online E-Cigarette Business
Picture courtesy of SiamRath. Police in Bangkok have arrested a 40-year-old Malaysian man along with two Thai accomplices after discovering a large stash of illegal e-cigarette products being sold online from a rented house in the Lat Phrao area. The operation was led by Pol. Maj. Gen. Thanantorn Rattanasitthiphak, Commander of Metropolitan Police Division 4, with support from senior officers at Lat Phrao Police Station. Officers raided the property, located in a housing estate off Soi Lat Phrao 101, following a tip-off about a possible online e-cigarette distribution hub operating out of the house. Arrested at the scene were Mr. Han, a Malaysian national aged 40, Mr. Phattharaphong 26 and Mr. Thatthaphong 24, both Thai nationals. Inside the home, officers found a vast quantity of e-cigarette-related items, 1,028 pieces in total, including devices, liquid pods, cartridges, packing materials, and shipping supplies. The items were found stored in the living room on the ground floor of the property. According to police, the suspects confessed that the products belonged to them and admitted to operating an illegal sales network. Orders were reportedly received via a private LINE group, with customers transferring payment directly to a bank account. The group would then package and ship the products to buyers throughout the country. E-cigarettes and related products are currently illegal for sale and distribution in Thailand and the suspects now face charges for possession and sale of prohibited items. Police have stated that investigations are ongoing to determine the full extent of the operation and to identify any additional individuals involved in the network.

Crime DSI Uncovers Cross-Border Bribery & Money Laundering Network Exploiting Cambodian Workers
Picture courtesy of Daily News The Department of Special Investigation (DSI) has revealed a sweeping financial trail involving a transnational network accused of collecting illegal fees from Cambodian migrant workers. The illicit funds, estimated at several hundred million baht, are alleged to be tied to high-ranking Cambodian officials, Thai politicians and former government bureaucrats. The operation follows a major DSI-led raid conducted on 3 July, in which four targeted locations were searched under warrant, including a private firm in Bangkok’s Khlong Sam Wa district. That company was allegedly acting as a consultancy to assist with foreign worker permits but is now suspected of being a front for money laundering activities. DSI Director-General Pol. Lt. Col. Yuttana Praedam led the investigation, alongside Pol. Lt. Col. Anurak Rojanaranakit, Pol. Capt. Thanawat Wong-ananchai, and other senior DSI officers. The investigation was filed under Case No. 27/2568. According to financial records reviewed by investigators, a Cambodian national, referred to only as Mr. A, transferred funds into accounts belonging to senior Cambodian officials and intermediaries. Between 1 October 2024 and 21 March 2025, Mr. A’s account at Kasikorn Bank in Thailand was used to transfer funds 87 times, totalling 3,285,415 baht, to a Kasikorn account held by Mr. B, identified as a high-ranking Cambodian official. A further 39 transactions, worth 3,240,240 baht, were made from Mr. A’s account at TMBThanachart Bank to the same recipient. After Thailand’s Ministry of Labour issued a new regulation on 26 November 2024, the volume of transfers escalated. On 11 December 2024 alone, a total of 100 transactions from Mr. A’s two Thai accounts sent 15,879,125 baht to an account held by Mr. C. Subsequently, Mr. Cmade 107 transfers, amounting to 15,074,050 baht, to Mr. D, identified as an adviser to a Cambodian minister. The DSI suspects that the payments were part of a broader scheme involving kickbacks for work permits and under-the-table fees extracted from migrant workers seeking legal employment in Thailand. The agency has expressed concern that the transactions indicate a complex, cross-border money laundering operation. Investigations are ongoing, with the DSI working in coordination with Thai financial authorities and international counterparts. The agency has pledged to dismantle the entire network and hold all complicit parties accountable, regardless of political standing or nationality.
