House Committee on Police chairman Watsharaphong Khuwijitsuwan, a Bhumjaithai MP for Saraburi, disclosed that the committee will invite the Technology Crime Suppression Division to join a systematic review of the financial sources and donation channels of all political parties, including Bhumjaithai, to ensure transparency and fairness. The move follows questions and a petition regarding MP Suchada Sangthanthip of Chaiyaphum and her husband, who are suspected of ties to foreign online gambling networks, prompting calls for party dissolution. Watsharaphong said continuous reports have emerged of party members, candidates, and MPs across the North, Northeast, South, and Bangkok allegedly involved in illegal businesses such as gambling, nominee schemes, and fraud, with several cases under police and DSI investigation and some already indicted. The cyber police will also scrutinize the payment gateways parties use to receive public donations, especially since some gateway operators face fraud charges. If wrongdoing is found, the division can expand its investigation and coordinate with the Anti-Money Laundering Office, the Election Commission, and the National Anti-Corruption Commission for further legal action. Watsharaphong warned that once donation flows are laid bare, any party found circulating dirty or grey money from scams into the political system risks dissolution.
