In recent times, the police in the capital of Thailand, Bangkok, have faced serious issues due to the lack of information on various criminal cases. Specifically, criticism has been directed at the investigation into a terrorist threat against British politician Anna Widdicombe and the case of two missing Russian sisters in Pattaya. According to the Bangkok Post, the police in Bangkok are criticized for the lack of information regarding the terrorist threat case. At the same time, Thai Examiner reports that two people have been arrested and two others have disappeared in connection with the disappearance of the two Russian sisters in Pattaya. Additionally, the police in Bangkok also face criticism for the lack of information on a missing person case in the city of Saito. Boston 25 News reports that standing police and firefighters were working to find the missing person. In all these cases, the police in the capital of Thailand are criticized for their insufficient transparency and timely provision of information. Specifically, Daily Express notes that the investigation into Anna Widdicombe's disappearance violates one of the main rules of police work. It is also worth noting the case of a missing person in Saito. Boston 25 News reports that standing police and firefighters were working to find the missing person, but information about this case was also not available to the public. In connection with this, Thailand's Minister of Justice defended the DSI (Police Department) and the investigation into currency operations, which involved a parliamentarian Pauwut. According to Thai Examiner, the Minister of Justice claims that the investigation is being conducted in accordance with the law. Currently, the police in Bangkok continue their work on these cases and strive to ensure greater openness and transparency in their actions. However, the public remains dissatisfied with the lack of information, which may affect trust in law enforcement agencies.
