MP Rome Warns DSI May Drop Gambling Probe to Protect Future PM

Rome warns rumors of the DSI ending its probe into the 'Idea MP' husband's gambling site are true, alleging a cover-up to aid the next 'acting PM' case, and says state officials protecting wrongdoers must be held accountable.

On November 13, 2026, Rangsiman Rome, party-list MP for the People's Party and chair of the House Committee on Law, Justice and Human Rights, posted on Facebook: 'Don't let rumors become reality. The DSI must expedite the Shuffle gambling website case of Tai Hyang Sang, husband of Nangsuda Sangthanthuek, Chaiyaphum MP for the Bhumjaithai Party. Is this the standard for handling gambling sites? Will you wait for him to flee and move assets first? Is this how you handle it? Youth build themselves — gambling capital fills the country.'

Rome added in an interview that three to four agencies are involved in examining the gambling website case: 1. DSI, 2. Cyber Police, with the Cyber Command as the lead agency, 3. the Anti-Money Laundering Office (AMLO), 4. the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding cryptocurrency. What he is worried about is whether the current delay is because they are waiting for something: 1. Waiting for those involved to flee first? 2. Waiting for them to move and transfer massive assets? Who benefits from this waiting? Cyber Police claimed they had already arrested players and once told the committee they would expand the investigation; why haven't they done so now?

Rome went on to say this suggests the case may involve assistance through the 'loose gears' of state agencies. The DSI is also working in a non-special, very slow manner, showing this is no ordinary case. All of this may make clear whether 'loose gears' are being used to help certain people.

'More than that, if we look, we know this case is not just about the gambling website. You might fear this could spread widely, to the point that someone being positioned as the next acting prime minister could also be damaged,' Rome said.

Rome continued that he is worried and afraid the leaked news from the DSI will become reality prematurely. In his capacity as committee chair, he will continue to pursue the matter, because it appears they are being blocked from investigating by the 'blue government' at every turn. He affirmed they will investigate thoroughly, and the 40-million-baht bribery case now linked to Nangsuda and her husband will also be pursued. They will not allow any blocking process to occur.

When asked if the committee would sue the four investigating agencies if things do not go as the committee thinks correct, Rome said the issue will shift from demanding answers from state agencies on when and how they will handle it, to identifying who in those agencies has assisted this gambling network, and the state officials involved in that assistance will have to answer for protecting the perpetrators.
