Police probe 10 politiciansListen to this articleJustice Minister Pol Lt Gen Rutthaphon Naowarat chairs the first meeting of assistant ministers to discuss advancing efforts to address transnational crime, all forms of crime, and drug-related problems on Jan 7. Pol Lt Gen Rutthaphon said police and relevant agencies, including cyber police, have been conducting continuous investigations into these illegal activities. "Based on available databases, around 10 politicians have been linked to online gambling websites and scam operations," Pol Lt Gen Rutthaphon said. Pol Lt Gen Rutthaphon replied that the issue was not raised because the meeting focused solely on policy direction. "This may have created the impression that I was saying that no politicians were involved in drugs or online gambling, which is not the case," he said.
