Bangkok, 16 August 2019 – SEC held a workshop in partnership with the Department of Special Investigation (DSI), the Anti-Money Laundering Office (AMLO), the Central Institute of Forensic Science (CIFS), the Economic Crime Investigation Division (ECD), and the Technology Crime Suppression Division (TCSD) to build a network in the form of cooperative integration, for an active and swift operation, and to maximize the effectiveness of law enforcement.
In
recent times, crimes regarding the capital market have become significantly
more intricate, which is why SEC firmly believes that there must be an upgrade
in the cooperation between related state departments regarding the process of
law enforcement. SEC has signed in various MOUs between relevant state
departments. However, the operation requires more than a mere close cooperation, it also requires that
the operatives are thoroughly acknowledged and of understanding in their roles
and the limits of their respective power.
SEC
and the aforementioned five state departments have partnered and held this
workshop, where knowledge and experiences would be shared for the purpose of
active and swift operation, such knowledge include, collecting and inspecting
evidence, procedures regarding offences
in the capital market, all of which would greatly improve the chance of success
in law enforcement and prevention against violations in the capital market. The
workshop was held on 15 to 16 August 2019 at the Waldorf Astoria Bangkok hotel.
Moreover,
an open discussion regarding digital asset businesses and law enforcement
against violators under the Emergency
Decree on Digital Asset Businesses B.E. 2561 (2018) was also held on the second day of the workshop, with the objective to
provide knowledge and understanding, as well as build a network of procedures
regarding the crimes of fraudulent solicitations of digital assets.
