Police submits findings in Thai PM-Hun Sen call leak to attorney general

15 Sept 08:48 Key points summarised by AI

The Thai Cybercrime Investigation Division submitted its findings to the Office of the Attorney-General (OAG) concerning the leaked phone call between Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra and Cambodian Senate Speaker Hun Sen.
The OAG will now assess if an arrest warrant for Hun Sen is warranted, a procedural step for an offense that originated outside Thai territory.
Should the OAG approve a warrant, Interpol will be asked to issue a 'Red Alert,' though this action is stated to be procedural rather than a genuine intent to arrest Hun Sen.
The leaked recording, in which Paetongtarn allegedly blamed a Thai general for border tensions, provoked widespread public anger and protests against the Prime Minister, leading to her suspension pending a court verdict.

Today 15:20 Key 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.
