Thai MP and Husband Meet DSI Over Alleged Gambling Shares
MP Idear and her husband appeared before Thailand’s Department of Special Investigation to explain allegations that he once held a 1.4% stake in an online gambling site linked to a scam network. The DSI is investigating the husband’s possible involvement with scammer and online gambling networks through shares in Shuffle.com, which is registered in Curaçao. The couple arrived early for their 10 a.m. meeting and stated that the shares were sold before she became a parliament member.
On October 20, 2026, MP Idear and her husband arrived at the DSI headquarters ahead of their scheduled 10 a.m. appointment to address allegations concerning his former shareholding in an online gambling platform. The DSI’s Technology and Information Crime Division had convened the first meeting of its investigative team on October 19, after suspicions arose that the husband, Ti Yang Sang, might be linked to a scam and online gambling network through his stake in Shuffle.com, a site registered in Curaçao. The DSI said it was working with the Central Investigation Police, the Technology Crime Suppression Division, and the Anti-Money Laundering Office to avoid duplication of effort and to share information effectively. Investigators also sent a formal invitation for the MP and her husband to provide clarification on October 20 at the DSI’s office in Building C, Room 9 of the Government Complex on Chaeng Watthana Road in Bangkok. During the meeting, investigators said they were coordinating with police and anti‑money laundering officers to divide tasks and check whether Ti Yang Sang had any past involvement in earlier cases handled by cyber police. MP Idear told a morning news program that she would attend the meeting to explain everything, reiterating that her husband once owned only 1.4% of the company through Mixed Order Limited, which is registered in the British Virgin Islands and owns Natural Nine B.V., the Curaçao‑registered operator of Shuffle.com. She added that he had sold his shares before she became a member of parliament, so the holding does not appear in her asset declarations to the National Anti‑Corruption Commission. She noted that while she had previously disclosed the shareholding when she served as a minister’s secretary, she transferred the shares out in early January 2026, before filing her asset report as an MP. Reporters said the couple arrived at the government complex at 8:30 a.m. and were escorted to the Technology and Information Crime Division on the ninth floor to meet the investigative team.
