Police seized assets worth more than 93.3 million baht during a raid on a livestock farm in Roi Et that was used to launder money for a drug trafficking network. Investigators found Thanawat worked for a larger trafficking network led by a suspect identified as Niphon, who is believed to hide in Laos. According to investigators, Chanoknuch and other relatives of Niphon managed the farm and its assets, which police allege were used to launder proceeds from drug trafficking. The Narcotics Suppression Bureau described the operation as a significant blow to a major drug trafficking network operating in northeastern Thailand. Police have not disclosed further details of efforts to locate and arrest Niphon, who is believed to remain in Laos.
