00:04A truly outrageous case has recently surfaced in Thailand.
00:07Police bust a criminal gang that faked fathers
00:10You'll understand what I mean once you listen.
00:12Specifically for children from Chinese families
00:14Trade in recognizing Thai men as fathers
00:17Illegally obtained Thai citizenship
00:19Is that so?
00:20Thai police recently launched a operation codenamed "Operation 1000".
00:22The large-scale demolition of Longlin
00:24Simultaneous raids at 42 locations across the country
00:27Of the 27 people arrested so far.
00:29Including Chinese mothers
00:30Thai man who takes money and pretends to be father
00:32And hospital staff
00:33And government officials
00:35And the case is still snowballing.
00:37On July 12, police arrested four more people.
00:39Including a pair of Chinese biological parents
00:41And two Thai fake fathers
00:43Speaking of this
00:44People might be very curious
00:46perfectly fine
00:47Why do Chinese people want their children to...
00:49Go and recognize a Thai man as your father.
00:51So what exactly is the appeal of Thai citizenship?
00:54This made them willing to take risks.
00:56Let's keep you in suspense for now.
00:57Because what's behind this?
00:58In fact, it concealed a black market supply chain that had been operating for over 5 years.
01:02How exactly does this group operate?
01:04Many people might not believe it when they hear this.
01:06The whole process is like a factory assembly line.
01:08One-stop service
01:09They are now in a Chinese chat group.
01:12Attracting these Chinese customers
01:13Then what
01:13Arrange for pregnant women to give birth at private hospitals in Bangkok.
01:17Next up is this opening act.
01:18This group targets Thai men who are short of money.
01:21Take them to government departments
01:23Sign the birth registration document
01:25Mao Ren is the child's biological father.
01:27Because according to Thailand's system
01:30As long as the father is Thai
01:31Then the child can obtain Thai citizenship.
01:33Therefore, the child's father listed on the document is Thai.
01:36But in reality, the child has no relationship with this so-called father.
01:39There is absolutely no blood relation between them.
01:41This includes hospital case administrators
01:44He was responsible for receiving clients.
01:45Get the birth certificate
01:46The district office's certificate protection officer
01:48He would be responsible for opening one eye and one nose.
01:50Allowing fake documents to pass smoothly
01:52The hospital official's fake father and the three parties
01:55The coordinated efforts, both inside and outside, have lasted for over five years.
01:58And this one-stop service?
02:00There are clearly marked prices.
02:01A Chinese family wants to buy a Thai dad for their child.
02:04First, you need to pay approximately 70,000 Thai Baht.
02:06That's about RM8,500 in production support costs.
02:10And what about the middleman?
02:11Each order will incur an additional charge of 20,000 Thai Baht.
02:13The document processing fee is approximately RM2,400.
02:16And what about the fake father's 1,000 nismin?
02:19You can get 2,000 to 15,000 Thai Baht, which is equivalent to Malaysian Ringgit.
02:22Approximately 240 to 1800 ringgit
02:25Then everyone might ask...
02:26Such a secret operation
02:28How exactly did the police discover this?
02:30It's really quite dramatic when you tell the story.
02:32The police were originally investigating
02:34A total of 70 billion Thai baht
02:36This is equivalent to a fraud and money laundering case involving RM8.55 billion.
02:39A Chinese man was arrested for using Thailand as a base for money laundering.
02:43When tracing the flow of data, it was discovered that...
02:46The money was transferred into his Chinese wife's account.
02:49And the three children of these three women
02:51And what about this woman's three children?
02:53They were all Thai citizens.
02:56This immediately aroused the police's suspicion.
02:58how so
02:59How can a child born to a Chinese couple have Thai citizenship?
03:04After further investigation, it was discovered that
03:06A Chinese couple living in a luxury mansion in Bangkok
03:08The child, Ningming, has already been registered as a Chinese citizen in one of the provinces of Thailand.
03:14Two weeks later, I went to the hospital to register again.
03:16Mother's information remains unchanged
03:17Dad then changed to a Thai man.
03:20Police arranged for DNA testing.
03:22The results confirmed that the Thai man named Luo Wei...
03:25She has no blood relation to that child.
03:28He also admitted that he was just a fake father who was paid to do things for others.
03:32In this way, the entire criminal network was exposed to the light of day.
03:35Do you remember the question we asked at the beginning?
03:37Why are Chinese people so eager to obtain Thai citizenship?
03:41The answer is now clear.
03:42Once you become a Thai citizen
03:43They can then enjoy local education, medical care, and social welfare.
03:46Most importantly, it also allows you to buy land and real estate to do business.
03:50It could even be used as a tool for money laundering.
03:53The most outrageous thing is that the police suspect this method was used.
03:57Foreign children who illegally obtained Thai citizenship
04:00It may have exceeded 500 people by now.
04:03The case even involved five private hospitals in Bangkok.
04:06The Thai government is now urgently trying to remedy the situation.
04:10Ordered all 878 certificate protection agencies nationwide
04:13A comprehensive review of the birth registration process.
04:16In the future, regarding all birth registrations involving foreign parents...
04:19Both parents must be present in person to verify their identities.
04:22The court also considered the case to involve national security.
04:25Bail denied to 27 defendants
04:28As for those who obtained their citizenship illegally?
04:30All will be revoked
04:31Foreigners involved in the case may also be deported.
