The National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) declared a Revenue Department official and three associates "unusually rich" after discovering approximately 2.1 billion baht across their bank accounts.
The individuals, including 'Danai' with 1.189 billion baht, failed to explain the origin of these funds, which significantly exceed their legitimate earnings, prompting the NACC to recommend charges and asset impoundment.
Following the NACC's findings, three Revenue Department officials involved have been dismissed, and a temporary employee's contract was terminated.
