Bangkok: The National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) has resolved to establish a committee to investigate allegations of harassment involving Pol. Col. Tawee Sodsong and the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) in the Senate collusion case.
According to Thai News Agency, the decision follows a complaint submitted by a group of senators accused by the DSI of money laundering. These senators petitioned the Senate chairman to forward their case to the NACC for further investigation. The complaint centers around actions by individuals claiming to be DSI officers who reportedly visited Amnat Charoen Province. These individuals, lacking proper identification and uniforms, allegedly entered the residence of a former senator candidate, disabled a CCTV camera, and coerced a confession regarding election collusion.
The group of senators, approximately 10 in number, who faced charges of money laundering and collusion in the Senate elections, formally submitted a request to the Senate chairman in February 2025. They urged the matter to be passed to the NACC, citing the actions of Pol. Col. Thawee and Pol. Lt. Col. Yuthana Phraedam as intentional harassment, potentially undermining the democratic system. The NACC has agreed to an initial investigation into these claims.
