Police seize counterfeit movies, CDs

DSI chief Tharit Pengsit said at the press conference that the DSI had searched eight pirate CD making locations and the suspected gang leader, Peera Korsuwansakul, had turned himself in to DSI investigators. The DSI was also investigating Peera’s wife and two children, he said. The department also wanted to arrest two other pirate CD making groups with whom Peera had worked, although it seemed that both groups had closed down production. Tharit also warned the gang’s network of customers that they could face both criminal punishment and tax cases. He said that Peera’s group had operated for 10 years and the back taxes would be very high.
