🚨 Prime Minister Anutin Takes a Hard Line Against Scammers

In a bold move at the 43rd ASEANAPOL Conference, Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has pledged an unwavering crackdown on online scammers. His message was clear: no one, regardless of political standing or influence, is above the law.

⚖️ A National Priority

Anutin made it clear that his administration is putting cybercrime and scams at the forefront of its agenda. With the government already working closely with ASEAN countries, Anutin assured the public that regional cooperation will play a key role in tackling this growing threat.

💼 No One Is Untouchable

The Prime Minister went even further, vowing that even high-profile individuals—including politicians—will not escape scrutiny. While discussing potential links between politicians and criminal networks, Anutin confirmed that discreet operations are already underway to gather evidence and bring offenders to justice.

🚔 Strengthening Border Security

Security measures along the Thailand-Myanmar border have also been ramped up to tackle human trafficking and other illegal activities. With more than 500 scam suspects recently fleeing Myanmar into Thailand, Anutin emphasized the importance of protecting citizens from such criminal activities.

🇰🇭 Fighting Cross-Border Crime

The crackdown extends beyond Thailand’s borders, with discussions already taking place with Cambodia to improve anti-scam measures. Both countries have agreed to a joint effort to address the growing issue of cybercrime.

In short: the government isn’t taking any prisoners in this fight. Whether you're a street-level scammer or a high-profile politician, if you’re involved in online crime, expect to be investigated. The days of exemption are over.
