Fugitive Cambodian alleged scam boss Kok An wanted by Thai police
10 Sept 20:36Key points summarised by AI
Thai police issued an arrest warrant for Cambodian Senator Kok An, accusing him of orchestrating major scam operations from Poipet, Cambodia.
The Cybercrime Investigation Bureau (CIB) charges Kok An with transnational criminal organization involvement and extensive money laundering activities.
CIB raids across Thailand seized assets exceeding 1.1 billion baht, linked to Kok An's network, which includes hybrid scams, call centers, and cryptocurrency laundering.
Exiled opposition leader Sam Rainsy alleges these large-scale scam centers, employing over 120,000 people, operate with impunity due to protection from Cambodia's Hun family.
Thai parliament passes anti-torture and enforced disappearance law
Today 03:05Key points summarised by AI
The Thai parliament has passed the Prevention and Suppression of Torture and Enforced Disappearance Act, set to become effective in four months, after several years of delay.
This new law aims to prevent and criminalize torture and the enforced disappearance of suspects during detention, addressing a long-standing issue in Thailand.
It defines torture and enforced disappearance as criminal offenses, allowing for the prosecution of government officials involved and bringing Thailand into compliance with international conventions it previously signed.
