The Special Investigation Department (DSI) is consulting with the Attorney-General's Office to issue arrest warrants for three ethnic Karen Border Guard Force (BGF) leaders—Col Saw Chit Thu, Lt-Col Sae Mote Thun, and Maj Saw Tin Win—on human trafficking charges.
Justice Minister Tawee Sodsong clarified that these charges are for a human trafficking case from several years ago, unrelated to current scam call centers, and stressed the necessity of strong ASEAN cooperation to combat such transnational crimes effectively.

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.
