Police send Hun Sen's leaked phone call case to prosecutors, Interpol notice possible
Pol Maj Gen Siriwat Deepor, commander of the Cyber Crime Investigation Division 1, submitted a 50-page file of the case at the Office of the Attorney-General (OAG) in Bangkok on Monday morning. The file was based on a complaint from Somkid Chueakong, deputy secretary-general to the prime minister, who sought legal action against the user of the Facebook account named Samdech Hun Sen of Cambodia.
The complainant accused the account user of threatening national security and other criminal offences for releasing a 17-minute-long audio recording of a phone call between Ms Paetongtarn and Hun Sen.
Pol Maj Gen Siriwat said that the case concerned an offence outside Thailand and was thus under the direct responsibility of the attorney-general. He said that the accused wrongdoers were the administrators of the Facebook account. He refused to say if Hun Sen was among the accused.
Receiving the case, OAG spokesman Sakkasem Nisaiyok said the attorney-general will decide if the case has enough evidence to be brought to a court. If there is sufficient evidence, the case will go to the Criminal Court and if the defendants fail to appear Thai officials will seek arrest warrants from Interpol.

Chinese man arrested for secretly filming sex acts with hundreds of men
CHINA - A 38-year-old man in Nanjing has been arrested for allegedly disguising himself as a woman to lure over 1,600 men into sexual encounters, which he secretly recorded and distributed online. According to a report by the South China Morning Post, local police detained the suspect on July 5 on charges of disseminating pornographic content. He had gained notoriety on Chinese social media under the alias 'Uncle Red', while Thai users referred to him as 'Sister Hong' due to the name used on his online profiles. Authorities say the man regularly wore heavy makeup, wigs, and long skirts to assume a female identity, luring unsuspecting men to his private residence. Once there, he allegedly installed hidden cameras to film the encounters without the victims' consent. In some cases, he also manipulated his voice to resemble that of a woman. These videos were then uploaded to private groups online, where users reportedly paid a subscription fee of 150 yuan (approximately 680 Thai baht) for access. The suspect claimed to have filmed sexual activity with more than 1,600 individuals. However, police suspect this figure may have been exaggerated. Some victims discovered the leaked footage and filed reports with authorities. While the perpetrator reportedly did not demand money from his victims directly, he would ask for small tokens such as milk, fruit, or even cooking oil. The case has sparked outrage across Chinese social media platforms. Despite police warnings against sharing the explicit material, many victims' faces continue to circulate online, with reports that several were identified by friends, family, or even fiancées. In response to growing public concern, Nanjing's Centre for Disease Control and Prevention announced it would offer health screenings to those affected, although it declined to confirm whether the suspect carried any sexually transmitted infections, citing privacy laws. Under Chinese law, the distribution of pornographic materials carries a maximum sentence of two years in prison. The suspect may also face additional charges for violating the privacy and image rights of the individuals involved.

Thai govt loans to cushion blow of Trump tariffs
The Government Savings Bank (GSB) has been ordered to provide 200 billion baht in soft loans to support Thai entrepreneurs hit by US President Donald Trump's tariff measures. According to Finance Minister Pichai Chunhavajira, the GSB loans will charge an interest rate as low as 0.01%, while the bank's cost of funds is around 2%. The government will bear the interest rate differential in order to support the liquidity and inventory carrying costs of domestic entrepreneurs, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), during this current period of uncertainty. For large companies, commercial banks will step in to help them. But if the burden exceeds commercial banks' capacity then the government will assist, said Mr Pichai. He also addressed measures to prevent the subrogation of certificates of origin (COs) for exporting goods to America, saying it is still unclear what percentage of local content the US will require for products exported to its market. However, it is expected to be higher than the current level of 40%, with the new requirement possibly rising to 60%, 70%, or even 80%, said Mr Pichai He added that for calculating local content for goods exported to the US, America will count domestic raw materials, including those sourced from the US and its allies, as part of efforts to manage competition with rival countries. According to Mr Pichai, in the first round of negotiations with the US regarding market access, which aims at allowing American goods to enter the Thai market at a 0% or near-zero import tariff, Thailand proposed eliminating import duties on 69% of all imported goods from the US. Later, Thailand pledged to eliminate import duties on up to 90% of all goods imported from the US and to remove various non-tariff barriers. Once a final agreement is reached on the tariff negotiations with the US, the entire agreement must be submitted to the Thai House of Representatives for approval, Mr Pichai said. He also noted that certain US goods which are not currently imported into Thailand will also be allowed to enter at a 0% tariff rate, in order to further expand market access and open up the Thai market to US automobiles. Mr Pichai said the guiding principle in the negotiations is that a 0% import tariff for US goods should apply only to products that Thailand already needs to import or to those that can be produced domestically but in insufficient quantities. "The impact of the Trump tariff measures should be seen as a crisis that presents an opportunity for Thailand to adapt and enhance the country's competitiveness," he said. "This is a bitter medicine for every country: we need to understand the situation and move in the same direction. We can't expect to gain 100% because it's a zero-sum game.' He added that Thailand's economy relies heavily on exports — up to 58%, though this is down from a previous peak of 70%. Of that, 18% of Thai exports go to the US, which is relatively high. Mr Pichai emphasised that negotiations with the US must ensure mutual benefit and balance, and the outcome must be sustainable — not just short-term fixes. This, he noted, is a challenging task. Historically, the US has had a trade deficit with Thailand amounting to US$30 billion a year. Therefore, Thailand must open up its market to more US products. Nevertheless, of that $30-billion deficit, one-third consists of electronic goods such as notebook computers, most of which are produced in Thailand by US companies with manufacturing bases in the country. According to Mr Pichai, these US companies have been operating in Thailand for 20-30 years, due to the availability of skilled labour that cannot easily be replaced in the US, as well as the presence of extensive supply chains. Relocating production out of Thailand would be nearly impossible. Products exported by these US firms in Thailand are often components used in America's artificial intelligence industry, he said. At the same time, according to Mr Pichai, Thailand is committed to promoting Thai investment in the US, especially in sectors such as agricultural processing, including both human and animal food, along with investment in energy resource development. The US has relatively low energy costs, particularly natural gas, which is priced at just $2–$3 per million British thermal units (BTU), compared to $11 in the international market. He added that Thailand must adapt by increasing reliance on its domestic economy. This includes maximising the use of domestic resources in production for overseas sales and diversifying export markets. However, Mr Pichai cautioned that if the negotiations adversely affect third countries, Thailand must take that into consideration as well, since part of these negotiations involves geopolitical issues, and the country does not wish to bring foreign conflict into its own borders.

Thailand's anti-graft agency set to probe suspended PM Paetongtarn
Thailand's anti-graft agency plans to probe allegations of ethical misconduct against suspended Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra, according to local media reports, adding to the leader's growing legal woes stemming her controversial handling of a border dispute. The National Anti-Corruption Commission's decision on Monday to launch a full panel investigation followed a preliminary inquiry, several Thai media outlets reported. The probe stems from accusations by a group of senators that Ms Paetongtarn seriously violated or failed to uphold ethical standards as outlined in the constitution. If the panel determines that there is sufficient evidence, it may formally charge Ms Paetongtarn and refer the case to a division of the Supreme Court for adjudication. Past rulings by the court in similar cases have led to lifelong bans on Thai politicians from holding or running for public offices. The anti-graft investigation marks the latest challenge for Ms Paetongtarn, who has already been suspended from office by the Constitutional Court over the same allegations of ethical misconduct. These stem from remarks she made during a leaked phone call with former Cambodian leader Hun Sen regarding a border dispute. The youngest daughter of billionaire and former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, Ms Paetongtarn now faces potential disqualification and removal from office if the Constitutional Court finds her guilty. Ms Paetongtarn may seek more time to submit a defence statement to the court, according to Deputy Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai, who has been appointed acting premier during her suspension. She was originally required to submit a defence statement to the court within 15 days from July 1 but may seek a two-week extension now, he said. Ms Paetongtarn's coalition government was plunged into a crisis when Hun Sen leaked the phone recording showing the premier siding with him rather than the Thai army while discussing solutions to a simmering border disputes. That angered conservative-leaning activists and opponents, who organised the biggest public protest in years to demand her ouster. The court case is the biggest threat yet to Ms Paetongtarn's nascent political career and her less-than one-year-old government. She came to power in August year after her predecessor, Srettha Thavisin, was ousted in a similar ethics related case over an appointment of a cabinet minister. While Ms Paetongtarn has stepped away from the top office, she still has a seat in the cabinet as the new Minister of Culture.
