In a raid on the Bang Phli area of Samut Prakan state on Wednesday, police detained 51 Thai nationals and 21 Chinese citizens from an accounting firm that were accused of establishing businesses using Thai nominees for international businesses.
According to Pol Maj Gen Thatphum Charuprat, the Economic Crime Suppression Division (ECSD ) commander, information about the accounting firm’s registration of companies for foreign businessmen led to the raid, which took place on Thursday. The company’s brand was kept a secret.
He claimed that the government intends to bring legal actions against 15 businesses that have been registered through the accounting firm because of a Foreign Business Act violation.
Five title deeds, 332 business postcards, and other documents pertaining to business operations and card applications were among the items that were seized. The total value of the confiscated goods was more than 150 million baht.

The function came after a Taiwanese suspect, only identified as Lee, was apprehended following an Interpol red notice on suspicion of extorting Foreign nationals, resulting in 14 billion baht in damages. Lee and his associates founded a business to challenge ID tickets and visas, which resulted in the deaths of many victims.
Investigators discovered Lee had hired Bang Phli’s finance company to register overseas companies using Thai nominees after his imprisonment in early March.
According to the research, Yian Zhao, alias Venus, a Chinese girl, owned the business. She used Thai people ‘ titles as nominees while working from China and coordinating with Chinese clients via Snapchat.
According to Pol Maj Gen Thatphum, these international companies that employ Thai nominations have seriously impacted the nation.
The arresting group had gathered information to request court permission to search the two Samut Prakan locations, leading to the arrest of the 72 suspects.
