Bangkok: The Anti-Money Laundering Office (AMLO) has seized and frozen assets worth over 10 billion baht from a “transnational scammer” network following evidence submitted by the Democrat Party. Pongsakorn Kwanmuang, a spokesman for the Democrat Party, expressed gratitude and emphasized the party’s commitment to transparency.
According to Thai News Agency, Democrat Party spokesman Phongsakorn Kwanmuang acknowledged the AMLO’s decisive action after their Transaction Committee’s landmark resolution on December 2nd, 2025. This resolution led to the seizure and freezing of assets in four major technology crime cases, totaling 10.165 billion baht.
Pongsakorn revealed that the operation was initiated after the Democrat Party presented evidence of suspicious financial transactions linked to criminal networks to the AMLO two weeks prior. He commended the AMLO for their swift action, which allowed for the immediate seizure and freezing of assets, marking a significant step towards combating financial crimes.
The AMLO’s findings underscore the gravity of transnational crimes that exploit Thailand as a hub. Their investigation uncovered a complex network involved in laundering money through digital assets, mule accounts, and international transfers. In total, 289 assets have been secured.
A spokesperson for the Democrat Party highlighted that the government’s ability to seize assets valued at over 10 billion baht demonstrates the necessity of proactive measures to dismantle “gray capital” networks and enhance transparency in the financial system.
