Former Land Surveyor Arrested in Pak Chong Land Fraud Case
Former land surveyor Jureerat (surname withheld) was arrested by anti-corruption officials in Chaiyaphum after fleeing a land fraud case in Pak Chong, where more than 41 rai of land titles were illegally issued. The arrest followed an NACC investigation that implicated seven people in the scheme, which involved falsified land deeds overlapping a protected forest. She is now in custody awaiting prosecution under Section 151 of the Anti‑Enforced Disappearance Act.
Anti-corruption investigators tracked down and arrested the former land surveyor in the Pak Chong land fraud case, in which more than 41 rai of land titles were illegally created. The suspect had evaded justice and was hiding at a friend’s residence in Chaiyaphum province. At 06:08 on 16 October 2026, investigators from the National Anti-Corruption Commission, under the direction of Secretary-General Nittiphan Prachobsom, Investigation Bureau Director Chaiwat Thongkasem, and Security Operations Director Thawatchai Sukphisal, together with the Chaiyaphum provincial NACC office and police from Nong Bua Khok, arrested Jureerat (surname withheld), a 63-year-old former land surveyor and survey officer, after learning she was staying at a friend’s house in Chaiyaphum.
Prior to this, the NACC had found fault with seven individuals in the scandal involving the improper issuance of land deeds that encroached on a reserved forest in Khong Phra sub-district, Pak Chong district, Nakhon Ratchasima, totaling over 41 rai. After the Central Corruption and Misconduct Court issued an arrest warrant on 14 October, the suspect fled her residence and hid at a friend’s house in Chaturat district, Chaiyaphum, but was eventually apprehended by the NACC surveillance team as she stepped out of the house early in the morning.
Officers recorded the arrest in accordance with the Anti‑Enforced Disappearance Act and transferred her to court for prosecution under Section 151.
