04 December 2025


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.
