Thai authorities are significantly expanding enforcement against foreign nominee businesses and "grey capital," moving beyond asset seizures to investigate ownership structures and financial flows. The crackdown now encompasses multiple provinces (Krabi, Nakhon Sawan, Phuket, Pattani and others) targeting nominee companies, unauthorized cannabis shops, and illegal land holdings. Deputy Interior Minister Surachate warns that investigations into these schemes—including Israeli and Chabad network connections—may lead to citizenship revocation and deportation. SME operators and foreign investors must verify legal ownership structures; involvement in nominee arrangements carries serious legal and financial penalties including asset confiscation.
