Summary
Thailand's Department of Special Investigation (DSI) raided four locations in Bangkok linked to an immigration services company suspected of involvement in a scam operation tied to Cambodia. One office provided services such as passport applications and work permit renewals for migrant workers.

The company allegedly defrauded workers and was connected to mule bank accounts used in illegal financial activities involving up to 400 million baht. Some accounts were linked to Thai firms and three high-ranking Cambodian officials.

The investigation began after migrant workers reported being charged an unexplained 2,500-baht fee. So far, only one company has been formally implicated, but the probe is ongoing. DSI noted possible involvement from officials in both Thailand and Cambodia but stressed that no accusations will be made without solid evidence.
