What began in late October as a raid on a Bangkok night entertainment venue operating beyond the legal hours has now grown into one of the country’s biggest corruption scandals.
At the centre is Chinese businessman and suspected crime boss Chaiyanat “Tuhao” Kornchayanant who is allegedly a key figure in a Chinese criminal syndicate in Thailand.
Mr Chaiyanat is charged with being involved in supplying or authorising the sale of narcotics, operating the pub without permission and providing assistance to drug-related offenders. He is also accused of associating with a transnational crime network and money laundering.
