As the prevention and suppression of technology-related crimes have been designated as a national agenda, all relevant agencies are intensifying efforts to combat technology-related crimes and money laundering in order to enhance public confidence. This effort is undertaken through the integration of investigative processes among relevant authorities, enabling enforcement actions to be expanded to include assets derived from criminal activities.

Inter-agency collaboration in linking information and tracing financial flows is a key factor in disrupting and deterring the movement of assets associated with illegal acts, as such acts may constitute predicate offenses under multiple laws. Accordingly, the SEC and the CIB have exchanged information and worked in close coordination, contributing to actions involving assets related to illegal acts that have been seized and frozen by the Anti-Money Laundering Office (AMLO), with a total value exceeding THB 20 billion. Progress in these cases was announced
on 9 April 2026. In this regard, the SEC and the CIB remain committed to supporting close and continuous collaboration to achieve the objective of disrupting illicit funds and technology‑related crimes, thereby safeguarding and protecting the public.

Pol. Lt. Gen. Natthasak Chaowanasai, Commissioner of the CIB, stated: “The CIB places emphasis on the investigation of complex economic and financial crimes, particularly cases involving the channeling of assets derived from illegal acts into the capital market and digital assets. In this regard, the CIB has closely exchanged information with the SEC, which serves as a key mechanism enabling investigations to be expanded swiftly and comprehensively. This cooperation has led to coordination with other relevant agencies, such as the AMLO, which has seized and frozen assets with a total value exceeding THB 20 billion. The CIB stands ready to continuously advance this form of cooperation with all relevant agencies to ensure unified and effective law enforcement with tangible outcomes.”

Mrs. Pornanong Budsaratragoon, Secretary‑General of the SEC, stated: “The SEC has linked information with the CIB to ensure that examination and law enforcement are carried out in a unified and tangible manner. Information held by the SEC may be utilized for enforcement under multiple laws. At the same time, information or unlawful acts under other laws—such as predicate offenses under the anti‑money laundering law—may also lead to enforcement related to the SEC’s regulatory requirements. This applies to business operators in the capital market and the digital asset market, as well as listed companies. In this regard, the SEC stands ready to take action in all aspects to strictly enforce the law and to integrate its efforts with relevant agencies. This represents one of the SEC’s five measures to disrupt illicit funds, aimed at ensuring the disruption and deterrence of channels associated with illicit funds or financial crimes, while fostering long‑term confidence and transparency in the Thai capital market.”
