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.
The panel found that 10 police officers and administrative officials colluded to allow the gambling dens -- which had over 100 million baht in circulation at one point -- in question to operate.
