Thailand’s Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul said he’s asked Deputy Finance Minister Vorapak Tanyawong for a written response to allegations that he’s linked to Southeast Asian scam networks.

Anutin also said Vorapak had not been named to lead the country’s anti-scam committee, as Thailand and other nations widen efforts to stop online scams spreading across the region.
