Attorney-General backs charges in Klatham MP's casesChonnaput Naksua (photo from his Facebook account)The Attorney-General has ordered the prosecution of Klatham Party politician Chonnaput Naksua and two associates in separate cases linked to illegal online gambling and money laundering, with investigators instructed to bring all suspects to prosecutors for court action. The case originated from an earlier gambling probe in which both men were accused of jointly organising or promoting illegal online gambling. The Attorney-General therefore ordered the indictment of Mr Chonnaput and Mr Phattharasak on joint money-laundering charges under the Anti-Money Laundering Act. Although provincial prosecutors had initially declined to prosecute both men, Police Region 9 again objected, and the Attorney-General ordered further investigation. On April 3, the Attorney-General ordered both suspects indicted on online gambling charges under the Gambling Act.
