Authorities arrested a money laundering suspect at Bangkok Special Prison on May 20, 2026, just minutes after he was released from serving time on another case. The arrest team apprehended Kasan based on arrest warrant number 1669/2566 issued on May 30, 2023, in Special Case 36/2563 for the charge of joint money laundering. The case centers on an illegal forex investment operation led by Apirak and associates who enticed investors to trade foreign currencies with promises of 60-80 percent returns on profits and 100 percent principal guarantees. They promoted the scheme through the website www.forex-3D.com and a Facebook account under the name Apirak Krub. Investigation revealed that Kasan purchased various assets using money obtained from the criminal enterprise to conceal the illicit origin of the funds. Arresting officers informed the suspect of charges and rights under criminal procedure law, recorded audio and video documentation during the arrest, and transferred custody to special case investigators who subsequently lodged him with the criminal court for further detention.
