On 4 December 2025, Mrs. Pornanong Budsaratragoon,
Secretary-General of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), together
with Mrs. Waratchya Srimachand and Mr. Thawatchai Pittayasophon, Deputy
Secretaries-General, and Ms. Sucha Boonyanate, Assistant Secretary-General, met
with Mr. Thepsu Bowornchotidara, Secretary-General of the Anti-Money Laundering
Office (AMLO), Mr. Wittaya Nititham, Assistant Secretary-General, and the AMLO
executive team, to follow up and coordinate cooperation on the seizure of assets
from technology-related criminal networks. During the meeting, the AMLO
provided preliminary information as requested by the SEC.
The meeting also covered discussions to push forward amendments
to relevant laws and regulations to enhance tools for monitoring transactions,
tracking money trails through intermediaries (travel rule), verifying ultimate
beneficiaries particularly in case of complex business structures, and
establishing clarity on Know Your Customer/Customer Due Diligence (KYC/CDD)
standards. This aims to benefit the SEC in investigating violations of business
takeover laws, and the AMLO in investigating money laundering offenses, as well
as to facilitate rapid and effective information exchange between the two
agencies going forward.
