BANGKOK: The Constitutional Court ruled unanimously that provisions in the Extradition Act 2008, specifically Section 19 (2)(3) and Section 21 (2–3), do not contravene the Constitution.

The ruling follows a petition by She Zhijiang, a Chinese national wanted by Beijing for alleged involvement in operating online gambling networks and casinos in Myanmar, causing damages of over 150 million yuan (about 700 million baht).
