Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul announced the seizure of another 8.3 billion baht in assets linked to suspects linked to a transnational scam network on Thursday. In particular, authorities are building a case against Mr Mauerberger who is believed to have played a central role in helping to launder money for Cambodia-based scam syndicates. The newly seized assets are valued at about 8.269 billion baht. Mr Anutin said the scale of the seizures underscored the extent of damage caused by transnational scam networks operating in Thailand and the region. Mr Mauerberger, a South African businessman with extensive connections in Thailand and Cambodia, left his Bangkok base last September for Dubai.
