The Department of Special Investigation in Thailand is pursuing comprehensive records from the Senate, specifically concerning the aides, experts, and advisers of all 200 senators.

This action follows the identification of irregular financial transactions, including monthly salaries of 15,000 baht, associated with an alleged nationwide bid-rigging scheme during the senate selection process.

In connection with this investigation, more than 100 witnesses have already been summoned in relation to a case focusing on money laundering.

Authorities are scrutinizing the financial activities and connections of Senate staff, as they seek to understand potential collusion and misconduct that may have influenced the legislative selection procedures.

The investigation underscores growing concerns within Thailand regarding corruption and transparency in governance.

As developments unfold, the implications of this inquiry may extend to various aspects of the political landscape in Thailand.
