Whether it’s a misunderstanding or a deeper legal issue, we’re here to defend your rights and guide you every step of the way.
Money laundering involves disguising the origins of illegally obtained money, typically by passing it through complex transactions to make it appear legitimate. According to Section 5 of the Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Act, a person commits money laundering if they:
“Transfer, convert, or conceal the origin of money or property that is involved with criminal activity, with the intention of hiding its illegal origin or helping someone avoid punishment.”
Under Thai law, even appearing to be involved in suspicious transactions — even if unintentional — can lead to serious consequences:
The earlier you get legal help, the better we can protect your rights.
We offer full legal support in money laundering and financial crime-related cases:
If your bank accounts or assets have been frozen due to suspected money laundering, we can take immediate legal steps to challenge the freeze order and present a lawful explanation for your funds.
If you’ve been linked to scam-related activity — even unknowingly — through your bank account or mobile wallet, our team will work to prove your innocence and negotiate with relevant agencies.
Have you received a police summons or are you under investigation by financial or cybercrime units? We’ll represent you during questioning, prepare legal documents, and build your defense from day one.
Foreign remittances, cryptocurrency, and large fund transfers can raise red flags under AML laws. We provide legal explanation and defense when your transactions are flagged or misinterpreted.
Can my bank account be frozen without notice?
Yes. Thai authorities can freeze accounts linked to suspected criminal activity. We can help challenge or clarify the freeze with supporting evidence.
Can I get my account unfrozen?
Yes, in many cases. But you need legal steps and documents to prove the funds are legitimate. We can help you with that.
Is it a crime to receive money from someone I don’t know well?
If the money is linked to scams or illegal sources, you may be charged even if you were unaware. Legal defense is essential.
Can foreigners be charged with money laundering in Thailand?
Yes. Foreign nationals can be investigated and prosecuted under Thai law. If you’re an expat or tourist, legal support is even more important. Our team can assist with both the criminal and immigration aspects.
If your bank account has been frozen, you received a summons, or you’re under AML investigation in Thailand — contact us now. Early legal intervention can make a critical difference.
