Thai Police Seeks Arrest Warrant for Myanmar BGF Commander in Human Trafficking Case

Pol. Maj. Siriwish Kasemsap, Director of the DSI’s Human Trafficking Case Division, provided updates on the request for an arrest warrant against Col. Maung Chit Thu, leader of the BGF armed group, and his associates in a human trafficking case.

The investigation gathered evidence linking Maung Chit Thu and others to trafficking operations spanning across borders and within Thailand. The case file has been submitted to the Office of the Attorney General for further legal proceedings.

While the exact number of suspects remains undisclosed, authorities confirmed Thai nationals were also involved. The specific charges under the 2008 Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act and its amendments are still under legal review. However, investigators are confident in the strength of the evidence and have pledged strict legal action against all perpetrators.

Meanwhile, at the Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau (CCIB), Commissioner Lt. Gen. Trirong Phiwphan reported progress in handling Thai nationals deported from Cambodia for alleged involvement in online crime syndicates.


The cases, now under the National Referral Mechanism (NRM), include 46 separate case IDs with 10 suspects facing legal action.


Authorities identified over 100 Thai nationals and two Chinese ringleaders linked to transnational organized crime, with ongoing efforts to track their activities and ensure prosecution.
