The Department of Special Investigation ( DSI) has denied the woman of Sanga” Kofuk” Kungwan, who is believed to have fled an 18- billion- ringgit tax scam case, is being released from detention so she can return with her husband worldwide.
Mr Sanga, a tribal of Ranong who holds two Myanmar- Thai citizenship, is thought to possess fled the country through a land border crossing after he was found to have falsified documents for no- observable oil exports, which he used to claim tax refunds over the course of 10 years, worth at least 18 billion baht.
The authorities said Mr Sanga actually set up an internet company based in Bangkok and also operated online gaming.
On Feb 1, some 27 sites connected to Mr Sanga’s online gaming company were raided in some regions. Seven defendants were arrested in the procedure, including Mr Sanga’s woman, and property worth more than 100 million ringgit seized.
The DSI is presently looking to use the online gambling scenario as a foundation to grow the research into the alleged tax fraud.
The DSI said that past weekend, a message was posted on TikTok claiming that a large- profile politician, with the assistance from DSI lead investigators, was lobbying to include Mr Sanga’s wife released on bail so she can return with him worldwide.
In response to the claim, the office released a statement denying Mr Sanga’s woman was being freed on parole. In fact, the DSI said that on March 9, the Criminal Court rejected her plea for bail on the grounds that the claims against her have a large abuse and that she posed a trip hazard.

DSI authorities were working on both the online gaming and tax fraud situations. They have met every Wednesday to evaluate progress in the satellites and expected the situations to get wrapped up second month before recommending an accusation against the suspects, according to Wacharin Phanurat, assistant commander of the Office of the Attorney- General’s Department of Investigation.
