The handover involved a large volume of documents, totaling 45 files packed into more than 23 cardboard boxes. The investigation team meticulously compiled the evidence to ensure fairness to all parties.
This case stems from an investigation that revealed the suspects handed over more than 246 baht weight of gold to officials in the hope of obtaining assistance or favoritism in the case.
