On November 10, Natural Resources and Environment Minister Suchart Chomklin disclosed developments in the case involving a group impersonating officials from the Parliament, Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Labour, and Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment. They pressured Y.D. Industrial Company in Klong Khiew, Ban Bueng, Chonburi, demanding 3.5 million baht in exchange for preventing inspections. Police arrested the first suspect on November 6 and apprehended two more accomplices today. Minister Suchart affirmed full support for police and the Pollution Control Task Force to investigate all involved — perpetrators, accomplices, and masterminds — vowing zero tolerance for anyone misusing ministry or agency names to extort citizens or businesses. "Anyone impersonating state officials using government agency names to threaten or demand money must face strict prosecution without exception. Our officials operate transparently and have no policy of soliciting money or benefits. We will not allow this group to use state agency names as tools for corruption and destroying public trust," Suchart stated.
