Today 21:34Key points summarised by AI

DSI investigates the Thai birth certificates and citizenships of three children of alleged Cambodian scam kingpin, Kok An, due to suspicions of fraudulent documentation.
The investigation in Roi-et province revealed a Thai man claimed paternity for the children, whose birth records were filed in 1990, with all other related documents mysteriously missing.
Arrest warrants have been issued for Kok An and three of his children for operating transnational scams from Poipet, leading to the impoundment of 1.1 billion baht in his Thai properties.
Kok An, known as 'the godfather of Poipet' and a Cambodian senator, allegedly uses his Crown Casino Resort as a central hub for online scam operations.
