Thailand is moving to strip up to three more foreign businessmen of citizenship as a crackdown on Israeli-linked businesses intensifies. Minister of Justice Police General Rutthaphol Naowarat has mobilised ten agencies to probe suspected nominee networks, land deals and foreign money transfers. Meanwhile, Chabad leader Rabbi Yosef Chaim Kantor has lost his Thai citizenship and must dispose of three Bangkok condominiums. Investigators are examining 19 companies linked to him and records involving over 60 businesses at one address. Jewish foundations and overseas donations face scrutiny, with further questioning and possible citizenship revocations looming. No criminal charges have been filed against the rabbi.

Thailand is preparing to revoke the citizenship of up to three more foreign businessmen as a sweeping investigation targets Israeli-linked businesses. Minister of Justice Police General Rutthaphol Naowarat announced the move on Wednesday, November 4.

The crackdown follows the citizenship revocation of Rabbi Yosef Chaim Kantor, a prominent Jewish religious leader. Meanwhile, investigators are tracing foreign donations, suspected nominee companies and land acquisitions across several provinces. Authorities have also ordered the rabbi to dispose of three Bangkok condominiums within one year.

The investigation has expanded into a coordinated operation involving ten government agencies. Officials are examining whether foreign investors used Thai nominees to control businesses and acquire restricted property.

Bangkok raids expose records of 60 companies as ten agencies widen Israeli-linked business investigation

Notably, earlier searches uncovered records involving more than 60 companies registered at one Bangkok address. Investigators are also examining 19 companies linked to Rabbi Yosef Chaim Kantor. The inquiry extends to religious foundations, foreign financial transfers, taxation and immigration records.

Police General Rutthaphol Naowarat chaired Wednesday’s meeting at the Ministry of Justice on Chaeng Wattana Road in Bangkok. Representatives from ten agencies reviewed evidence gathered during earlier searches.

In response, the minister ordered officials to accelerate investigations and prepare further enforcement operations. Their immediate priority is identifying the true beneficiaries behind companies, foundations, associations and property holdings.

The Department of Special Investigation (DSI) is coordinating the inquiry. Its investigators are working with immigration authorities, tax officials, land regulators and business registration agencies. In parallel, the Department of Provincial Administration is examining potential breaches of naturalisation conditions. The government is also reviewing foreign employment permits and financial transactions involving organisations under investigation.

Up to three more foreign businessmen face Thai citizenship revocation as nominee inquiries accelerate

The minister confirmed that evidence was being prepared against another two or three foreign businessmen. Some Thai reports described the individuals as three Jewish businessmen linked to suspected nominee arrangements.

However, the minister did not disclose their names or confirm completed citizenship revocations. The evidence will be submitted to the Department of Provincial Administration for consideration.

Investigators are examining how the businessmen obtained and retained Thai nationality. Particular attention is being paid to continued use of foreign citizenship after naturalisation. Furthermore, officials are checking whether the individuals controlled companies through Thai shareholders. Any established violations could trigger separate proceedings under nationality, business or property laws.

The latest action follows a major operation launched on October 8. Police General Rutthaphol Naowarat led a multi-agency investigation targeting three premises in Bangkok. Officers examined locations associated with Israeli-linked businesses and Jewish religious organisations.

These included facilities connected with the Chabad Foundation of Thailand, Gan Chabad and the Jewish Association of Thailand. The operation also covered premises on Phra Athit Road.

October raids uncover company records and casual workers as investigators trace ownership networks

During the searches, officers examined accounting records, corporate documents and evidence of financial transfers. Investigators discovered records involving more than 60 companies registered at one address.

Consequently, officials began examining overlapping shareholders, property transactions and possible links between the businesses. Five foreign workers were also reportedly found working without the necessary authorisation.

The operation formed part of DSI Investigation Case 104/2569. It concerns suspected unlawful foreign business control, nominee arrangements and property ownership. Since October, investigators have analysed the documents collected during the searches.

Wednesday’s meeting brought together their findings and identified further areas requiring investigation. The minister subsequently instructed each agency to prepare measures within its legal responsibilities.

The Department of Business Development is examining company registrations and shareholding structures. Meanwhile, the Department of Lands is reviewing property transactions and suspected nominee ownership.

The Revenue Department is investigating taxation and financial records. On another front, the Department of Employment is examining work authorisations. Immigration officers and Special Branch Police are reviewing nationality records, residence permits and possible immigration violations.

Rabbi Yosef Chaim Kantor loses Thai citizenship after investigators uncover repeated US passport use

The most prominent individual affected is Rabbi Yosef Chaim Kantor, a longstanding leader of Thailand’s Jewish community. He arrived in Bangkok in 1993 and subsequently became a leading figure in the country’s Chabad network.

Chabad-Lubavitch is an international Orthodox Jewish movement providing religious services, kosher food and community facilities. Its Thai centres serve Jewish residents and international visitors, including Israeli tourists.

Rabbi Yosef Chaim Kantor obtained naturalised Thai citizenship in 2013. However, DSI investigators established that he continued using his American nationality for international travel. According to their findings, he used his American passport on 16 occasions after becoming Thai. The most recent recorded occasion was January 26, 2026. Authorities subsequently examined whether his conduct breached Thailand’s nationality legislation.

On October 28, Prime Minister and Minister of the Interior Anutin Charnvirakul signed an order revoking the rabbi’s Thai citizenship. The government relied on Section 19(2) of the Nationality Act.

That provision permits revocation of naturalised citizenship under specified conditions concerning continued use of a former nationality. As a result, Rabbi Yosef Chaim Kantor lost his status as a Thai national.

No criminal charges filed against Rabbi Kantor as investigators examine 19 companies and overseas funds

The citizenship decision was separate from investigations into company ownership, land transactions and financial activities. Importantly, it did not constitute a criminal conviction for money laundering, illegal property ownership or nominee shareholding.

On Wednesday, Police General Rutthaphol Naowarat confirmed that no criminal charges had been formally filed against the rabbi. Nevertheless, investigators continue examining his business connections and financial transactions involving associated organisations.

The minister also disclosed that Rabbi Yosef Chaim Kantor is no longer in Thailand. Officials did not reveal his current location. Nor did Wednesday’s briefing announce an arrest warrant against him. Instead, the DSI is continuing its examination of company records, foundation accounts and foreign financial transfers.

The inquiry has already identified extensive business connections. Deputy Minister of the Interior Polapee Suwunchwee previously disclosed that authorities had identified 19 companies linked to the rabbi.

Investigators are examining their shareholders, activities and property interests. Additionally, officials are checking whether other companies form part of related commercial arrangements. Their task includes establishing whether Thai nationals acted as nominees for foreign investors.

Investigators examine Chabad properties and Israeli-linked land acquisitions across four Thai provinces

The investigation reaches beyond Bangkok. In Phuket, authorities have examined ownership and construction permits associated with a Chabad facility in Patong. Elsewhere, officials in Chachoengsao have investigated land used for a Jewish cemetery.

That inquiry includes questions concerning permits and regulatory compliance. Separately, investigators have examined reports of Israeli-linked land acquisitions in Pattani and other southern border provinces.

Authorities are checking ownership arrangements and the intended use of properties identified during those inquiries. However, the legality of several transactions remains unresolved. The minister confirmed that investigators had identified evidence of significant land acquisitions requiring further examination. Officials must establish who controls the properties and whether their acquisition complied with Thai law.

The most immediate property action concerns three Bangkok condominium units registered directly in Rabbi Yosef Chaim Kantor’s name. Police General Rutthaphol Naowarat disclosed the properties during Wednesday’s briefing. Following the citizenship revocation, the Department of Lands ordered their disposal within one year. The instruction requires the properties to be removed from the rabbi’s ownership.

Rabbi Kantor faces further asset scrutiny but bank accounts remain unfrozen after condominium sale order

However, investigators have not established that he personally owns land in Thailand. The minister distinguished the three condominium units from other properties under examination.

Authorities are still investigating whether additional assets are held through companies or Thai nominees. In particular, they are checking whether registered shareholders conceal the true beneficiaries of property transactions.

The minister confirmed that the rabbi’s bank accounts have not been frozen. His other assets have not been seized either. Accordingly, investigators are concentrating on tracing ownership, examining financial records and identifying possible offences. Any further action against assets would require evidence and applicable legal procedures.

Foreign financial transfers form another major part of the inquiry. Investigators are examining donations received by religious foundations and transfers between associated organisations. They also want to establish whether funds were subsequently used for investments or property acquisitions. At the same time, tax officials are checking whether relevant transactions were properly declared.

The minister ordered investigators to establish the source and destination of financial transfers. Officials must also examine whether money was used according to the stated purposes of recipient organisations. As part of this process, authorities are reviewing foundation registrations and declared objectives. The inquiry includes transactions between foundations, associations and commercial companies.

DSI schedules questioning of Jewish organisations as officials trace overseas donations and investments

Investigators are examining whether those financial arrangements concealed unlawful business activity. Should evidence establish financial offences, additional proceedings could follow. Authorities may also consider measures preventing the transfer of assets connected with suspected criminal conduct. For now, however, no seizure involving Rabbi Yosef Chaim Kantor has been announced.

The DSI has scheduled two significant questioning sessions next week. Representatives of the Chabad Foundation of Thailand have been invited to attend on Monday, November 9. Subsequently, representatives of the Jewish Association of Thailand will face questioning on Tuesday, November 10. Both sessions are scheduled for 1.30 pm.

The questioning will cover organisational activities, financial records and relevant business connections. Investigators intend to compare the explanations with documents collected during the October searches.

Thereafter, the DSI will assess whether further legal proceedings are warranted. The inquiry into overseas donations and associated companies will continue alongside those interviews.

A separate investigation involves Israeli businessman Maimon David Marciano. That case concerns suspected unlawful business arrangements in Pattaya, Chonburi province. Authorities have designated the investigation a special case.

Marciano has already been summoned to be informed of accusations against him. Nevertheless, the minister made an important distinction concerning the relationship between the two investigations.

Pattaya businessman investigated separately as DSI finds no financial link with Rabbi Yosef Chaim Kantor

Police General Rutthaphol Naowarat confirmed that investigators had found no financial transactions connecting Marciano with Rabbi Yosef Chaim Kantor. Consequently, the Pattaya case remains separate from the investigation involving the Chabad leader.

Both fall within the wider enforcement programme targeting Israeli-linked business activities. However, authorities have not established that the men operated a joint financial network.

The DSI is therefore investigating several cases rather than pursuing one operation exclusively against Rabbi Yosef Chaim Kantor. The wider crackdown centres on Thailand’s restrictions on foreign ownership of land and certain businesses.

Foreign nationals generally cannot own Thai land outright, although limited statutory exceptions exist. Similarly, the Foreign Business Act restricts foreign participation in specified commercial sectors.

Thai nominee rules come under scrutiny as investigators test shareholder control and land ownership

Foreign investors may establish companies with Thai shareholders where arrangements comply with the law. However, nominee structures can breach those restrictions when Thai shareholders merely conceal foreign control.

Investigators are examining whether shareholders genuinely invested in the companies concerned. They are also reviewing voting rights, financial contributions and the identities of ultimate beneficiaries.

These questions become particularly important where companies acquire property. Authorities must establish whether registered owners exercise genuine control or act on behalf of foreign investors.

In addition, they must determine whether the acquisition complied with land ownership restrictions. The DSI is examining corporate structures alongside property records to identify any unlawful arrangements.

Naturalised Thai citizens occupy a different legal position from foreigners without Thai nationality. They ordinarily enjoy ownership rights available to Thai nationals. However, naturalisation remains subject to statutory conditions and possible revocation.

The case involving Rabbi Yosef Chaim Kantor has brought those provisions directly into the investigation. His citizenship was revoked following findings concerning continued use of his American nationality.

Citizenship cases remain open as immigration officers check naturalisation and residency records

By contrast, the investigations into associated companies and financial transactions remain open. No criminal charges against the rabbi had been announced by Wednesday.

Likewise, the proposed citizenship revocations involving other businessmen have not been completed. Each case requires examination of individual nationality records and the relevant legal conditions.

Wednesday’s meeting also addressed immigration compliance and foreign residents whose permission to remain may have expired. Officials reviewed residence records and possible overstaying.

Moreover, investigators are examining whether immigration information reveals connections between individuals and companies already under scrutiny. The minister instructed agencies to verify naturalisation histories and identify possible breaches of nationality conditions.

Evidence concerning another two or three businessmen is being prepared for submission to the Department of Provincial Administration. Their identities remain undisclosed. Meanwhile, business regulators and property investigators are continuing separate examinations of company ownership and asset acquisitions. The minister indicated that further enforcement operations would follow the inter-agency review.

Justice minister orders five lines of inquiry into nominees, foreign transfers, citizenship and assets

Police General Rutthaphol Naowarat issued five principal directives during Wednesday’s meeting. First, investigators must accelerate inquiries into nominee networks involving individuals, companies, foundations and associations.

Their work must identify the true beneficiaries behind ownership arrangements. It must also establish connections between shareholders, commercial operations and property holdings.

Second, officials must examine financial transactions and taxation. The review covers overseas donations, transfers between organisations and money used for investments or asset purchases. Furthermore, investigators must establish whether financial records reveal unlawful commercial arrangements. Tax compliance forms part of the examination.

Third, agencies must verify nationality and immigration records, including naturalisation cases. Fourth, officials must consider lawful measures preventing the movement of assets potentially connected with criminal activity. Finally, the minister ordered closer coordination between participating agencies. They must exchange evidence, assign responsibilities and report progress.

The government is preparing further operations based on those findings. The Department of Lands will continue examining property transactions. Business regulators will investigate shareholding structures and possible nominee arrangements. In tandem, tax investigators will review financial records, while immigration authorities examine nationality and residence information.

Government probes Israeli-linked businesses as citizenship and property investigations continue

The crackdown has attracted political attention amid nationalist criticism of Israeli commercial interests in Thailand. Chabad facilities have also come under scrutiny during the wider controversy. Nevertheless, the government investigations concern distinct legal matters. These include citizenship conditions, foreign business ownership, property transactions, taxation and immigration compliance.

Religious organisations are being examined where investigators have identified relevant financial or corporate records. Their registration, stated objectives and financial activities are under review.

However, authorities have not announced criminal charges against Rabbi Yosef Chaim Kantor. Investigators must establish specific violations before further criminal proceedings can follow.

By Wednesday, November 4, the investigation had produced one confirmed citizenship revocation involving the rabbi. Another two or three businessmen face possible similar action. Meanwhile, the Department of Lands has ordered the disposal of his three Bangkok condominium units within one year. His other assets and bank accounts remain unfrozen.

Investigators have identified records involving more than 60 companies registered at one Bangkok address. Separately, authorities are examining 19 companies linked to Rabbi Yosef Chaim Kantor. The true ownership of additional properties remains under investigation. Officials are also tracing foreign financial transfers and suspected nominee arrangements across Bangkok, Phuket, Chachoengsao and Pattani.

Pattaya inquiry stays separate as officials prepare further citizenship cases and question Jewish groups

The Pattaya case involving Israeli businessman Maimon David Marciano continues independently. Notably, investigators have found no joint financial transactions connecting him with Rabbi Yosef Chaim Kantor. The minister confirmed that both investigations remain separate despite falling within the wider enforcement programme.

The next developments are scheduled for November 9 and 10, when representatives of two Jewish organisations face questioning. Their explanations will be assessed against financial records and documents collected during the October searches.

Meanwhile, the Department of Provincial Administration will consider evidence concerning further citizenship revocations. Business regulators, tax investigators and land officials will continue their separate examinations.

Police General Rutthaphol Naowarat has ordered all ten agencies to coordinate their findings and prepare further enforcement measures. The investigation now covers naturalised businessmen, corporate networks, religious foundations and property holdings.

By Wednesday evening, no criminal charges had been announced against Rabbi Yosef Chaim Kantor. However, his Thai citizenship had already been revoked, and three properties were subject to disposal orders.

在犯罪、经济、生活、媒体、政治、泰国

随着对与以色列有关联的企业的打击力度加大，泰国正着手剥夺至多三名外国商人的公民身份。司法部长兼警察总长鲁塔蓬·瑙瓦拉特已调动十个机构，调查涉嫌的代理人网络、土地交易和境外资金转移。与此同时，哈巴德运动领袖约瑟夫·海姆·坎托拉比已被剥夺泰国公民身份，并须处置其在曼谷的三套公寓。调查人员正在审查与其有关联的19家公司，以及涉及同一地址的60多家企业的记录。犹太基金会和海外捐款也面临审查，可能还会受到进一步质询，甚至被吊销公民身份。目前尚未对坎托拉比提起刑事诉讼。

泰国正准备撤销至多三名外国商人的公民身份，一项针对与以色列有关联的企业的全面调查也随之展开。司法部长兼警察总长鲁塔蓬·瑙瓦拉特于11月4日星期三宣布了这一举措。

此次打击行动源于著名犹太教领袖约瑟夫·海姆·坎托尔拉比的公民身份被撤销。与此同时，调查人员正在追踪其在多个省份的外国捐款、涉嫌的代理公司以及土地收购活动。当局还责令坎托尔拉比在一年内出售其位于曼谷的三套公寓。

调查已扩大为一项涉及十个政府机构的联合行动。官员们正在调查外国投资者是否利用泰国代理人控制企业并获取受限财产。

曼谷突击搜查行动曝光60家公司的账目，十个机构扩大了对与以色列有关联的商业活动的调查。

值得注意的是，此前的搜查发现，有超过60家公司注册在曼谷的同一地址。调查人员还在审查与拉比约瑟夫·海姆·坎托尔有关的19家公司。调查范围涵盖宗教基金会、境外资金转移、税务和移民记录。

周三，曼谷警察总长鲁塔蓬·瑙瓦拉特在曼谷昌瓦塔纳路司法部主持召开会议。来自十个机构的代表审查了此前搜查中收集的证据。

对此，部长命令官员加快调查进度，并准备采取进一步的执法行动。他们的当务之急是查明公司、基金会、协会和房产持有者背后的真正受益人。

特别调查厅（DSI）正在协调此次调查。其调查人员正与移民局、税务部门、土地管理机构和商业登记机构合作。与此同时，省级行政部门正在审查是否存在违反入籍条件的情况。政府也在审查涉案机构的海外就业许可和财务交易。

随着提名调查加速进行，多达三名外国商人面临泰国公民身份被撤销的风险。

部长证实，当局正在准备针对另外两三名外国商人的证据。一些泰国媒体报道称，这三人是与涉嫌代理人安排有关的犹太商人。

然而，部长并未透露他们的姓名，也未确认公民身份撤销是否已完成。相关证据将提交省行政部门审议。

调查人员正在调查这些商人如何获得并保留泰国国籍。尤其关注他们在入籍后是否继续使用外国国籍。此外，官员们还在核查这些人是否通过泰国股东控制公司。任何已证实的违法行为都可能引发根据国籍法、商业法或财产法进行的单独诉讼。

此次行动是继10月8日发起的大规模行动之后采取的。警察总长鲁塔蓬·瑙瓦拉特领导了一项多部门联合调查，目标是曼谷的三处场所。警方对与以色列有关联的企业和犹太宗教组织相关的地点进行了搜查。

这些设施包括与泰国查巴德基金会、甘查巴德中心和泰国犹太人协会相关的场所。此次行动还涵盖了帕阿提路上的房产。

10月份的突击搜查行动揭露了公司记录和临时工信息，调查人员以此追踪所有权网络。

搜查过程中，执法人员检查了会计记录、公司文件和资金转移证据。调查人员发现，有超过60家公司注册在同一地址，涉案记录涉及广泛。

因此，官员们开始调查重叠的股东、财产交易以及这些企业之间可能存在的关联。据报道，还发现有五名外籍劳工在没有必要授权的情况下工作。

此次行动是DSI 104/2569号调查案件的一部分，涉及涉嫌非法控制外国企业、代理人安排和财产所有权等问题。自10月以来，调查人员一直在分析搜查过程中收集的文件。

周三的会议汇总了各方调查结果，并确定了需要进一步调查的领域。随后，部长指示各机构在其法律职责范围内制定相应措施。

商业发展部正在审查公司注册和股权结构。与此同时，土地部正在审查房产交易和疑似代理所有权情况。

税务部门正在调查税务和财务记录。另一方面，就业部门正在审查工作许可。移民官员和特警正在审查国籍记录、居留许可和可能的移民违规行为。

拉比约瑟夫·海姆·坎托尔因多次使用美国护照而被剥夺泰国国籍。

受影响最显著的人物是约瑟夫·海姆·坎托尔拉比，他是泰国犹太社区的长期领袖。他于1993年抵达曼谷，随后成为泰国哈巴德运动的领军人物。

哈巴德-卢巴维奇是一个国际性的正统犹太教运动，提供宗教服务、犹太洁食和社区设施。其在泰国的中心服务于犹太居民和国际游客，包括以色列游客。

约瑟夫·海姆·坎托尔拉比于2013年入籍泰国。然而，泰国特别调查局（DSI）的调查人员发现，他仍然使用美国国籍进行国际旅行。调查结果显示，他入籍泰国后曾16次使用美国护照。最近一次记录是在2026年1月26日。当局随后调查了他的行为是否违反了泰国国籍法。

10月28日，泰国总理兼内政部长阿努廷·查恩维拉库尔签署命令，撤销了这位拉比的泰国国籍。政府依据的是《国籍法》第19(2)条。

该条款允许在特定情况下撤销入籍公民身份，例如继续使用原国籍。因此，约瑟夫·海姆·坎托尔拉比失去了泰国国籍。

调查人员正在审查19家公司和海外资金，但目前尚未对坎托尔拉比提出刑事指控。

公民身份决定与对公司所有权、土地交易和金融活动的调查无关。重要的是，该决定并不构成洗钱、非法拥有财产或代持股份的刑事定罪。

周三，警察总监鲁塔蓬·瑙瓦拉特证实，尚未对该拉比提出正式刑事指控。不过，调查人员仍在继续调查他与相关组织的商业联系和财务交易。

部长还透露，约瑟夫·海姆·坎托尔拉比已不在泰国。官员们没有透露他目前的下落。周三的简报会也没有宣布对他发出逮捕令。相反，泰国特别调查局（DSI）仍在继续审查公司记录、基金会账户和境外资金转移情况。

调查已发现广泛的商业联系。内政部副部长波拉佩·苏温奇维此前透露，当局已确认与这位拉比有关联的19家公司。

调查人员正在审查这些公司的股东、业务活动和财产权益。此外，官员们还在核查其他公司是否参与了相关的商业安排。他们的任务包括确定是否有泰国公民充当外国投资者的代理人。

调查人员对泰国四个府的哈巴德教派房产和与以色列有关的土地收购情况进行了调查。

调查范围已超出曼谷。在普吉岛，当局已对芭东一处犹太教哈巴德中心的产权和建筑许可证进行了审查。此外，北柳府的官员也对一处用作犹太人墓地的土地进行了调查。

该调查包括有关许可证和监管合规性的问题。此外，调查人员还审查了有关以色列在北大年府和其他南部边境省份进行土地收购的报告。

当局正在核查调查中发现的房产所有权安排和预期用途。然而，部分交易的合法性仍未得到确认。部长证实，调查人员已发现大量土地收购的证据，需要进一步审查。官员必须查明这些房产的控制人，以及其收购是否符合泰国法律。

最直接的财产处置涉及三套直接登记在拉比约瑟夫·海姆·坎托名下的曼谷公寓。警察总长鲁塔蓬·瑙瓦拉特在周三的新闻发布会上披露了这些房产。在拉比的公民身份被撤销后，土地局下令在一年内处置这些房产。该指令要求将这些房产从拉比名下移除。

坎托尔拉比面临进一步的资产审查，但公寓出售令下达后，其银行账户仍未被冻结。

然而，调查人员尚未证实他本人在泰国拥有土地。部长将这三套公寓单元与其他正在接受调查的房产区分开来。

当局仍在调查是否还有其他资产通过公司或泰国代理人持有。特别是，他们正在核查登记股东是否隐瞒了房产交易的真正受益人。

部长证实，该拉比的银行账户并未被冻结，其他资产也未被查封。因此，调查人员正集中精力追溯资产所有权、审查财务记录并查明可能的违法行为。任何针对资产的进一步行动都需要证据并遵循相应的法律程序。

境外资金转移是此次调查的另一重要部分。调查人员正在审查宗教基金会收到的捐款以及相关组织之间的资金转移。他们还希望查明这些资金是否随后被用于投资或购置房产。与此同时，税务官员也在核查相关交易是否已如实申报。

部长已下令调查人员查明资金转移的来源和去向。官员们还必须审查资金是否按照收款机构所宣称的用途使用。作为这项工作的一部分，当局正在审查基金会的注册信息和申报目标。调查范围包括基金会、协会和商业公司之间的交易。

DSI安排对犹太组织进行质询，官员们正在追踪海外捐款和投资。

调查人员正在审查这些财务安排是否掩盖了非法商业活动。如果证据证实存在金融犯罪，可能会采取进一步的诉讼程序。当局也可能考虑采取措施，阻止与涉嫌犯罪行为相关的资产转移。但目前尚未宣布对约瑟夫·海姆·坎托尔拉比进行任何资产查封。

泰国特别调查局（DSI）已安排下周举行两场重要的质询会。泰国哈巴德基金会的代表受邀参加11月9日（星期一）的质询会。随后，泰国犹太人协会的代表将于11月10日（星期二）接受质询。两场质询会均定于下午1点30分举行。

讯问将涵盖组织活动、财务记录和相关业务联系。调查人员计划将供述内容与10月份搜查中收集的文件进行比对。

此后，特别调查处将评估是否有必要采取进一步的法律行动。对海外捐款及相关公司的调查将与这些访谈同时进行。

另一项调查涉及以色列商人迈蒙·大卫·马尔恰诺。该案涉及其在春武里府芭堤雅涉嫌的非法商业安排。当局已将此案列为特别案件进行调查。

马尔恰诺已被传唤，被告知针对他的指控。然而，部长就这两项调查之间的关系做出了重要的区分。

芭堤雅商人因与拉比约瑟夫·海姆·坎托尔无经济联系而接受单独调查

警察总长鲁塔蓬·瑙瓦拉特证实，调查人员没有发现马尔恰诺与约瑟夫·海姆·坎托拉比之间存在任何财务往来。因此，芭堤雅案与涉及哈巴德领袖的调查是分开进行的。

这两起案件均属于针对与以色列有关联的商业活动的更广泛执法行动的范畴。然而，当局尚未证实这两人运营着一个共同的金融网络。

因此，泰国特别调查局（DSI）正在调查多起案件，而非仅针对约瑟夫·海姆·坎托尔拉比展开单一行动。此次更广泛的打击行动主要针对泰国对外国人拥有土地和特定企业的限制。

外国公民通常不能直接拥有泰国土地的所有权，尽管存在一些法律例外情况。同样，《外国商业法》也限制外国企业参与特定商业领域。

泰国提名人规则受到审查，调查人员正在调查股东控制权和土地所有权问题。

外国投资者可以设立拥有泰国股东的公司，前提是相关安排符合法律规定。然而，如果泰国股东仅仅是为了掩盖外国控制权，那么通过代理人设立公司可能违反这些限制。

调查人员正在审查股东是否真正投资了相关公司。他们还在审查投票权、财务出资情况以及最终受益人的身份。

在公司收购房产的情况下，这些问题尤为重要。当局必须查明登记的所有者是否行使真正的控制权，还是代表外国投资者行事。

此外，他们还必须确定此次收购是否符合土地所有权限制。税务调查局正在审查公司结构和房产记录，以发现任何非法安排。

入籍泰国的公民与没有泰国国籍的外国人享有不同的法律地位。他们通常享有泰国国民所享有的所有权。然而，入籍仍受法律规定的条件约束，并可能被撤销。

约瑟夫·海姆·坎托尔拉比的案件直接将这些条款纳入了调查范围。由于调查发现他继续使用美国国籍，他的公民身份被撤销。

公民身份申请案件仍在审理中，移民官员正在核查入籍和居住记录。

相比之下，对相关公司和金融交易的调查仍在进行中。截至周三，尚未宣布对该拉比提出任何刑事指控。

同样，涉及其他商人的拟议撤销公民身份的案件也尚未完成。每起案件都需要审查个人国籍记录和相关法律条件。

周三的会议还讨论了移民合规问题以及居留许可可能已过期的外国居民的情况。官员们审查了居住记录和可能的逾期居留情况。

此外，调查人员正在审查移民信息是否揭示出个人与已接受审查的公司之间存在关联。部长指示各机构核实入籍记录，并查明可能存在的违反国籍条件的行为。

另有两到三名商人的相关证据正在准备提交给省行政部门。他们的身份尚未公开。与此同时，商业监管机构和财产调查人员正在继续分别对公司所有权和资产收购情况进行调查。部长表示，跨部门审查结束后，将采取进一步的执法行动。

司法部长下令对提名人、境外资金转移、公民身份和资产展开五项调查。

警察总长鲁塔蓬·瑙瓦拉特在周三的会议上发布了五项主要指示。首先，调查人员必须加快对涉及个人、公司、基金会和协会的代理人网络的调查。

他们的工作必须查明所有权安排背后的真正受益人，还必须建立股东、商业运营和财产持有之间的联系。

其次，官员必须审查财务交易和税务情况。审查范围包括海外捐赠、组织间资金转移以及用于投资或资产购买的资金。此外，调查人员还必须确定财务记录是否揭示了非法商业安排。税务合规性也是审查内容之一。

第三，各机构必须核实国籍和移民记录，包括入籍申请。第四，官员必须考虑采取合法措施，防止可能与犯罪活动有关的资产转移。最后，部长命令各参与机构加强协调。他们必须交换证据、明确职责并汇报进展情况。

政府正根据这些调查结果制定进一步行动计划。土地部门将继续审查房产交易。商业监管机构将调查股权结构和可能的代理人安排。与此同时，税务调查人员将审查财务记录，而移民当局将审查国籍和居住信息。

政府对与以色列有关联的企业展开调查，公民身份和财产调查仍在继续。

在泰国，以色列的商业利益受到民族主义者的批评，此次打击行动也因此引发了政治关注。在更广泛的争议中，哈巴德中心也受到了审查。然而，政府的调查涉及不同的法律问题，包括公民身份、外国企业所有权、房产交易、税务和移民合规等。

调查人员已在相关财务或公司记录中发现了宗教组织，并正在对这些组织进行审查。审查内容包括其注册信息、既定目标和财务活动。

然而，当局尚未宣布对约瑟夫·海姆·坎托拉比提出刑事指控。调查人员必须先确定具体的违法行为，才能进行进一步的刑事诉讼。

截至11月4日星期三，调查已确认一名拉比的公民身份被撤销。另有两三名商人可能面临类似处分。与此同时，土地局已下令在一年内处置他在曼谷的三套公寓。他的其他资产和银行账户仍未被冻结。

调查人员已查明，涉及60多家注册在曼谷同一地址的公司。此外，当局正在调查与拉比约瑟夫·海姆·坎托尔（Rabbi Yosef Chaim Kantor）有关的19家公司。其他房产的真实所有权仍在调查中。官员们还在追踪曼谷、普吉岛、北柳府和北大年府的境外资金转移和疑似代理人安排。

芭堤雅调查仍独立进行，官员们正在准备其他公民身份案件并讯问犹太团体。

涉及以色列商人迈蒙·大卫·马尔恰诺的芭堤雅案件仍在独立调查中。值得注意的是，调查人员尚未发现他与拉比约瑟夫·海姆·坎托之间存在任何共同的财务交易。部长确认，尽管两项调查均属于同一执法计划，但它们仍各自独立进行。

下一步的进展定于11月9日和10日，届时两家犹太组织的代表将接受质询。他们的解释将与10月份搜查期间收集的财务记录和文件进行比对。

与此同时，省行政部门将审查有关进一步撤销公民身份的证据。商业监管机构、税务调查人员和土地官员将继续进行各自的调查。

警察总长鲁塔蓬·瑙瓦拉特已下令所有十个部门协调调查结果，并准备采取进一步的执法措施。调查范围现已涵盖入籍商人、企业网络、宗教基金会和财产持有情况。

截至周三晚间，尚未对约瑟夫·海姆·坎托尔拉比提出任何刑事指控。然而，他的泰国国籍已被撤销，三处房产已被勒令处置。
