PM Anutin Vows Equal Justice in MP Gambling Probe
Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul declared that the DSI investigation into an online gambling case linked to a Bhumjaithai MP's husband will proceed strictly by the law with no special treatment. He emphasized his "no names, only behavior" policy, insisting all suspects face equal justice regardless of political connections. Anutin also clarified that the DSI does not need to report routine cases directly to him.
Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul, also the Interior Minister, addressed reporters at Government House on November 13, 2026, regarding reports that the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) was preparing to close its probe into the shuffle.com online gambling website. The case emerged after the husband of Chaiyaphum MP Suchada Sang, Ta Yang Sang, was allegedly linked to a scammer network and online gambling. However, the DSI director-general later clarified the investigation had not been terminated.
Anutin stated that everything proceeds according to law under his "no names, only behavior" principle. He confirmed this policy remains firm: investigators must pursue facts and evidence without bias. "Whoever is involved, whoever is connected, the same law applies to all," he said. "We will enforce it fully with no exceptions, no reductions, and no assistance."
Asked whether the DSI had reported the matter to him amid public confusion, the premier replied such cases do not require daily prime ministerial briefings. He noted he oversees 35 other ministers, each managing ministries with permanent secretaries and director-generals already empowered to handle routine matters. Only issues severely affecting national administration, security, or public welfare warrant direct reporting.
Pressed again on whether the MP's case would continue, Anutin simply repeated: "No names, only behavior. Don't ask leading questions."
