Pol. Gen. Wittya Sriprasertphap, head of the Consumer Protection Crime Bureau (CPCB), announced progress in the “Mom Tak” case regarding online gold purchases that have led to multiple victims filing complaints. Currently, 16 victims have registered cases, and more are expected to come forward.
As of September 29, investigators are collecting evidence and interviewing witnesses, particularly the victims. Evidence provided has been substantial, and due to the case’s complexity, further time is anticipated for thorough examination. Next week, clearer directions for the case’s progression are expected.
Currently, 16 verified cases have been reported online and via walk-ins, with more victims likely to step forward. On September 30, investigators will interview 6-7 victims, with others being scheduled for future statements.
Pol. Gen. Wittya confirmed that images posted by “Mom Tak” (Ms. Korakhanok Suwannabut) with two police officers were legitimate. One is a deputy investigator with the Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau (CIB) and the other is a 53-year-old police lieutenant from the CPCB. He reassured the public that these officers have no influence on the ongoing case, which is solely handled by CPCB, ensuring that the investigation will proceed impartially and transparently.
