Chelsea manager Potter says his family has received death threats
13 Sept 13:39Key points summarised by AI
Chelsea manager Graham Potter disclosed that he and his family have received anonymous death threats following the club's recent poor run of results.
The threats, which included wishes for him and his children to die, emerged as Chelsea sits 10th in the Premier League, having won only two of their last 14 games.
Potter described the threats as "not pleasant" and acknowledged the significant personal toll on his family, while reaffirming his commitment to the club.
He views the threats as an isolated incident and a "throwaway line," but conceded that a line had been crossed by involving his family.
Nationwide crackdown launched on illegal nominee shareholders and land holdings
Yesterday 15:20Key points summarised by AI
Thailand's Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul initiated a nationwide crackdown on illegal Thai nominee shareholders in foreign-run businesses and land holdings to safeguard national interests.
The government will integrate efforts across all relevant agencies to target illicit foreign operations, forced sales of illegally acquired property, and high-risk land ownership schemes.
Key strategies include auditing suspect land and building holdings, establishing a long-term monitoring system, and cross-referencing data from various authorities to trace ultimate beneficial owners.
Prime Minister Anutin emphasized that no influential figures or corrupt officials are above the law, promising straightforward prosecution, asset seizures, and protection for enforcing officers.
Beyond land ownership, the integrated crackdown will also extend to tackle transnational crimes, including drug and human trafficking.
