On Tuesday, February 25, 2025, at 1:30 PM, at the 10th floor meeting room of the Ministry of Justice building on Chaeng Watthana Road, the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) convened the Board of Special Case (BSC) meeting no. 2/2568. The meeting was chaired by Mr. Phumtham Wechayachai, Deputy Prime Minister, as Chairman of the BSC, along with Police Colonel Thawee Sodsong, Minister of Justice, as Vice Chairman of the BSC, and Mr. Komol Prompeng, Deputy Permanent Secretary of the Justice Ministry, representing the Permanent Secretary, participating as a committee member. Police Major Yutthana Praedam, Director General of the DSI, served as a member and secretary.

Following the meeting, Mr. Phumtham Wechayachai, Deputy Prime Minister, as Chairman of the BSC, revealed that today's BSC meeting considered and resolved to designate other criminal offenses as special cases. The meeting addressed a request to investigate the 2024 Senate election process, specifically regarding the authority to proceed under Section 49 of the Organic Act on the Election Commission, B.E. 2560 (2017), to determine whether this authority lies with the Election Commission or the Secretary-General of the Election Commission. Consequently, the board resolved for the DSI's Special Case Inquiry Official team to conduct further investigations on this matter. The matter will then be submitted through the Sub-Committee on Transnational and Special Crime of the DSI before being presented again to the BSC at the meeting no. 3/2568 on March 6, 2025. The Election Commission will be invited to provide information on this matter so that the BSC can make a further resolution.
