The Thailand Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) published an update on its close coordination with the Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) to integrate information on criminal offenses and trace financial flows, aiming to disrupt and deter illicit funds and technology-related crimes across channels including the capital market and digital assets. Information sharing between the SEC and the CIB is intended to support investigations that may involve predicate offenses under multiple laws and to enable enforcement actions to extend to assets derived from criminal activity. The cooperation has contributed to cases in which the Anti-Money Laundering Office (AMLO) has seized and frozen assets linked to illegal acts with a total value exceeding THB 20 billion. The CIB highlighted a focus on complex economic and financial crimes, including the channeling of illicit assets into capital market and digital asset activities, while the SEC noted that its information can be used for enforcement under multiple laws and that unlawful acts under other laws can also trigger action under SEC regulatory requirements for capital market and digital asset business operators as well as listed companies. Progress in the relevant cases was announced on 9 April 2026, and both agencies signaled that the information-sharing and joint coordination will continue.
