A joint investigative task force submitted evidence to the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) against an Ang Thong petrol company, alleging fuel reporting violations.
The company is accused of failing to report daily fuel intake and distribution volumes on 20 occasions in March and April, potentially undermining national energy security by moving fuel outside regulated systems.
Investigations uncovered "suspicious business arrangements" and links to a wider family-connected business network operating across several provinces, prompting the DSI to trace financial transactions to identify the ultimate figure behind the operation.

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.
