Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul announced that the Thai government intends to strengthen its efforts to combat online crime. The crackdown will target various elements, including mule accounts, SIM cards, digital money trails, online platforms, criminal infrastructure, call center gangs, and transnational crime networks. Anutin emphasized that the issue requires collaboration from multiple agencies, as it is not something that can be tackled by a single organization.
