Thai authorities expect to finalise a decision on Monday on an attempt to arrest the Karen militia leader Saw Chit Thu, who has been linked to the illegal businesses that Thailand is attempting to suppress across the Myanmar border in Myawaddy.

The warlord is said to run the scam centre hub of Shwe Kokko in Myawaddy in a joint venture with Yatai International, owned by Chinese gambling kingpin She Zhijiang.

In a related development, the Immigration has transferred the Tak immigration police chief to an inactive post at headquarters, in order to facilitate an investigation as to why so many people have been lured into working for scam gangs in Myanmar through Tak.
