BANGKOK: Thai investigators will travel to Malaysia soon as part of an in-depth investigation into a Malaysian company which has been accused of being a "transnational crime syndicate" in the kingdom.

Bernama was informed that the green light to send the team to Malaysia was reached during a recent meeting between the two countries on anti-narcotics law enforcement cooperation in Chiang Rai, northern Thailand.
