A DSI panel, joined by representatives from the Attorney-General's Office, Royal Thai Police, and other ministries, is meeting to discuss alleged voting collusion in last June's Senate election.
The primary focus of the meeting is to determine if the alleged collusion should be treated as a special case for DSI investigation and if it constitutes a case of criminal association.
A group of senatorial reservists has submitted a petition to the Parliament President, demanding an ethics probe into senators who sought an investigation of the Justice Minister and DSI chief.
A reservist alleges widespread voting collusion and manipulation, claiming instruction notes were distributed to candidates and allowed into polling booths, with promises of 20,000-30,000 baht for compliant votes.
