A well-known anti-corruption activist in Thailand was detained in a case involving illegal betting and money laundering
🔹Atchariya Ruangrattanapong is suspected of fraud, money laundering, and involvement in illegal online bets on Thai boxing. An investigation into a bookmaker network with a turnover of more than $29 million led law enforcement to the activist and his victim-assistance organization. The inquiry uncovered 212 transactions totaling about $1,2 million, which link him to accounts in the case.
🔹Previously Ruangrattanapong accused cyber police officers of taking money from gambling operators. He now says the case against him is fabricated and that the disputed transfers have a lawful explanation. This is his second detention this year: in April the activist was detained on suspicion of extorting around $74 thousand from a colonel of the immigration police, but was later released on bail.
