Almost 50 Chinese tourists were detained for questioning and a large quantity of illicit drugs were seized when police raided a pub in Huai Khwang district of Bangkok early Friday morning.
The attorney-general has pressed multiple charges related to narcotics, organised transnational crime, money-laundering and more against Chinese businessman Chaiyanat “Tuhao” Kornchayanant and 40 others.
The Department of Special Investigation (DSI) on Wednesday clarified its crackdown operation on Dec 22 on the home of the consul-general of the Republic of Nauru in Sathon district which is suspected of sheltering Chinese people wanted by police after some seized items went missing.
Right on cue, activist Srisuwan Janya, secretary-general of the Association for the Protection of the Constitution, went to the Election Commission on Dec 6 to file a petition calling on the poll regulator to seek the dissolution of two major parties in connection with the high-profile Chinese criminal syndicate allegedly run by businessman and suspected crime boss Chaiyanat "Tuhao" Kornchayanant.
