Bangkok:Mr. Rangsiman Rome, Member of Parliament from the People's Party and Chairman of the House Committee on Law, Justice, and Human Rights, has called upon the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) to prosecute the Shuffle gambling website, citing sufficient evidence to move forward with legal proceedings.

According to Thai News Agency, Mr. Rangsiman met with DSI officials to present information regarding the Shuffle website, which is linked to the husband of Ms. Suchada Tansap, a Member of Parliament from Chaiyaphum representing the Bhumjaithai Party. He expressed readiness to hand over evidence from the committee's investigation, including official documents that could be used in court. Mr. Rangsiman emphasized that the investigation should not only focus on online gambling offenses but also consider potential money laundering and the involvement of government officials.

The investigation revealed that six Bitkub accounts linked to the Shuffle website had transactions exceeding 100 million baht. It is being monitored whether these accounts will be blacklisted. Additionally, transactions related to Shuffle totaling 220,000 baht were reported from the Maxbit platform. Representatives from Binance have been invited to provide further details on any related financial transactions.

Mr. Rangsiman highlighted that the available evidence suggests the case may involve organized crime, violations of the Gambling Act, and conspiracy to launder money. He urged the DSI to take serious action, noting the swift blocking of the Shuffle website following political developments. Concerns were raised about the possible links to political figures, including a 40 million baht bribe allegation involving Mr. Chaiyachanok Chidchob, the Minister of Digital Economy and Society.

The use of digital assets in financial transactions poses challenges for money tracing and anti-money laundering efforts. Mr. Rangsiman suggested that the Shuffle case should prompt government agencies to enhance anti-money laundering measures and investigate the use of digital assets for illegal activities.

Finally, he addressed reports that the DSI might only pursue charges under the Computer Crime Act, emphasizing the need for a thorough investigation into the legality of government officials' actions. Mr. Rangsiman called for impartial treatment of all parties, regardless of political affiliation, and stressed the importance of government agencies working together to prevent the misuse of state platforms for money laundering.
