The Anti-Money Laundering Office (Amlo) has confiscated assets worth 463 million baht from 11 individuals allegedly involved in human trafficking and procuring women for prostitution at the Victoria's Secret massage parlour. The 11 suspects include Kampol Wirathepsuporn, the massage parlour owner and his wife, Nipa. The case made headlines on Jan 12 when the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) raided the massage parlour in Bangkok's Rama IX area. The case allegedly involves a human trafficking network with tentacles stretching across Myanmar, Malaysia and Thailand. Meanwhile, the Royal Thai Police is drawing up the country's first anti-human trafficking manual to standardise legal procedures against the crime.
