Director-General of the DSI, In Collaboration with SET, AMLO, CIB, and ASCO, Held a Press Conference to Announce the Progress Regarding the Securities Case of MORE RETURN Public Company Limited and Jointly Enhanced the Security of the Stock Market

On Friday, August 1, 2025, at 01:00 PM, at Sukree Kaewcharoen Hall, third floor, the Stock Exchange of Thailand building, Police Major Yutthana Praedam, Director-General of the Department of Special Investigation (DSI), jointly held a press conference to announce the significant progress in the securities case of MORE RETURN Public Company Limited and the enhanced collaboration to support Thai capital market. The conference was organized by the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET), and was participated by related agencies, including the Office of the Attorney General, the Anti-Money Laundering Office (AMLO), the Central Investigation Bureau (CIB), and the Association of Thai Securities Companies (ASCO).

The key point of this conference was to inform investors and the general public regarding the cooperation among related agencies to enhance the prevention and suppression of misconduct in the capital market. The Department of Special Investigation (DSI) played a pivotal role in contributing to the MORE securities case prosecution, which led to a swift investigation and the pressing of charges against the co-offenders.

“The MORE securities case represents another evolution in economic crime, where offenders exploit their knowledge and expertise in securities trading, or are part of the brokerage circle, which gives them great knowledge about trading procedures so that they can spot the opportunity for fraud. The success of handling this case stems from the integration among multiple agencies to enhance the standards of the economic crime suppression, which prevented damages to 10 securities companies amounting approximately 4.5 billion Baht. This amount would have had to be paid to the securities sellers, most of whom were also the accomplices. The authorities used civil measures under the Anti-Money Laundering Act to file a petition with the court to have the assets forfeited to the state and distributed to the victims, as well as pursued the criminal proceedings against the accomplices. Therefore, not only will the offenders not be able to get the assets as intended, they may also face severe criminal penalties from their crimes,” said Police Major Yutthana Praedam, Director-General of the Department of Special Investigation (DSI).
