Following the release of violent films that depict functions of torture and dehumanization, expert computer police on Friday made another arrest of a part of the” Oreo” group.

A victim was allegedly forced to eat grass and remove his clothes before being sprayed with water while dressed, according to the movie, which was reportedly shot on December 3.

The account’s owner, who is a member of an online gaming community known as” Oreo,” uses FiveM, a well-known role-playing modification app for Grand Theft Auto Online, later identified as Mr. Adipat.

The suspect, according to Pol Lt. Gen. Trairong, acknowledged that the group, led by a man known as” Ta,” had systematically targeted and intimidated other gamers who engaged in conflict with them.

First, Mr Adipat may be charged with violating the system crime legislation, said the CCIB chief.

Following inquiries into claims that members of the group had illegally obtained personal information to abuse survivors, Mr. Adipat’s arrest was made.

According to Pol Lt Gen Trairong, the suspect even reported to police that the party had hired a site administrator to get private information from other players for 500 ringgit for particulars of two people.

The site executive, aged 16, was located in Ayutthaya on Friday.

One of the team’s members claimed to be able to get federal databases and find personal data about its rivals, which members would then use to harm or abuse the victims, according to a previous Facebook post.

The representative was alleged to be able to do so because his girl is a police officer’s daughter.

But, Pol Lt. Gen. Trairong claimed that initial data suggested that customers or applicants were required to provide personal information by private companies rather than government agencies.
