Authorities pledge to enforce all applicable laws -- including anti-money laundering regulations -- against Bluedragon Lottery Co, which is being investigated for selling overpriced lottery tickets on its online platform.
Seksakol Atthawong, an aide to the prime minister who chairs a sub-committee looking into the irregular pricing of lottery tickets, said he will meet the director of the Government Lottery Office and assistant national police chief, Surachate Hakparn, to discuss the matter.
If authorities found evidence of wrong-doing, the company will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, Mr Seksakol said. Many tickets sold through their website also had their barcodes blurred out, which made it impossible to verify the authenticity of the tickets, he said. This raises concerns that one ticket could have been sold multiple times to unsuspecting customers.
