Thai politicsThe Thai authorities will be forwarding the case of the leaked audio conversation between Cambodian Senate president Hun Sen and Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra to the Attorney-General on July 14, 2025.
The commander of Thailand’s Cyber Crime Investigation Division 1, Police Major-General Sirivat Deepo, has confirmed that the investigation into the case is nearing completion.
The case stemmed from a complaint filed by Mr Somkid Chueakhong, deputy secretary-general to the prime minister for political affairs, who had requested that the cyber police investigate the audio clip on June 20, 2025.
Mr Somkid said that the complaint had been filed to take legal action against Mr Hun Sen on national security grounds.
He emphasised that the filing was not an attempt to defend the Thai Prime Minister, but rather to address the political advantage gained by Mr Hun Sen through the leak.
Mr Somkid stated that the leak misrepresented the Thai Prime Minister, leading to a false perception
