Thailand Forms Task Force to Address Major Criminal Offenders

New police center will focus on prominent individuals and organized crime syndicates.
The Royal Thai Police have established a new center dedicated to addressing major criminals, hired assassins, and powerful individuals associated with organized crime. This initiative, spearheaded by Deputy Commissioner-General Pol Gen Prajuab Wongsuk, seeks to unify law enforcement efforts across the country to confront crimes that pose risks to public safety.

The operation will target loan sharks, bid-rigging schemes, extortion rings, and criminal influence over industries such as factories, transportation services, and entertainment establishments. Officials report that these figures are deeply embedded in various sectors and play a significant role in perpetuating widespread criminal activities. The task force comprises senior officers experienced in crime suppression and investigative work.

This initiative comes in response to escalating concerns regarding criminal networks functioning in Thailand, including those involved in financial fraud, contract killings, and unlawful business control.
