Ten police officers and administrative officials have been linked to two gambling dens in Rayong that were blamed for Thailand's second Covid-19 outbreak, according to a government panel.
In the wake of the country's last novel coronavirus outbreak, the government established a special panel, headed by the former permanent secretary of justice Chanchao Chaiyanukit, to find out if there were any officials behind the clandestine gambling operations.
