Thai authorities are in the process of confiscating more assets valued at about 3 billion baht owned by suspected crime boss Chaiyanat “Tuhao” Kornchayanant and his alleged accomplices.

Minister of Justice Somsak Thepsuthin has set a target of seizing 100 billion baht in assets from those involved in the narcotics trade this fiscal year and is promising to raise the target if his party is reelected.
