Authorities confiscated evidence including three laptops, 22 mobile phones, one tablet, several credit cards, and notebooks recording money transfers amounting to millions of Indian rupees — roughly USD 61,595 (or ~2 million Thai baht). Investigators believe these funds correlate with deposits for online gambling platforms.
The suspects claimed they were simply functioning as “customer-service admins” for gambling sites. But they could not clearly explain what services they provided, prompting police to suspect they administered backend operations (payments, account verification, customer support) for offshore gambling networks using Thailand as base.
Currently, the five men are detained and face charges for illegally working in Thailand without proper permit under foreign labor laws. Investigation is ongoing while authorities scrutinize the seized devices and financial records.
