At 10:00 a.m. on June 13, at the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) on Chaeng Watthana Road, Pol. Lt. Col. Woranan Srilam, Director of the Consumer Protection Case Division and DSI spokesperson, provided an update on Special Case No. 24/2025. The case involves money laundering by individuals or groups linked to the acquisition of senators, including organized crime (secret society) members and supporters.
On June 12, a meeting of the DSI’s special case investigators reviewed recent developments, including witness interrogations and evidence collection. Some DSI officers are also serving on a subcommittee investigating the case in collaboration with the Election Commission.
The subcommittee, chaired by the Deputy Secretary-General of the Election Commission, has summoned senators and others to clarify accusations under the Organic Act on the Senate (2018), now in six waves. As for the DSI’s criminal investigation into money laundering and organized crime, every key witness has been interrogated in dual contexts, progressing alongside the election fraud case.
So far, no summonses for suspects have been issued regarding the organized crime and money laundering charges. Pol. Lt. Col. Woranan emphasized that public prosecutors from the Office of Investigation also participate in this case, and any DSI decisions must be jointly agreed upon with them. As of today, no formal charges have been proposed.
In response to criticisms suggesting DSI may be waiting for the Election Commission’s subcommittee to complete their summons before acting, Woranan clarified that the processes are running in parallel, with simultaneous witness interviews.
