Rome sees no progress in the 40 million baht bribery case but points to the money trail and Shuffle coin transactions as sufficient evidence to prosecute those involved. He confirms Shuffle coin is used for online gambling and urges police to accelerate the investigation, fearing asset transfers. Speaking at Parliament at 13:20 on November 4, 2026, People's Party list-MP Rangsiman Rome, chair of the House Committee on Law, Justice and Human Rights, said that while the bribery case and illegal gambling website linked to politicians may not yet show satisfactory progress, some state agencies are expected to announce advances on Shuffle.com this week. Raids have already been conducted at multiple locations, with more searches conducted today. Further press conferences from the agencies involved are awaited. Coordination with foreign police and the Anti-Money Laundering Office (AMLO) is underway, with further progress anticipated by mid-month. Rome believes existing Thai law provides enough evidence to charge those involved as players and financiers in cases of solicitation or actual wrongdoing. Transaction data obtained confirms that Shuffle coin is used for gambling, as trading for exchange is minimal. He stressed that legal elements are substantially met and agencies must now proceed legally to prevent asset transfers, pledging to monitor their operations closely.
