The Ministry of Interior alleged that Blustein continued using an Israeli passport after obtaining Thai citizenship. On the day he received his Thai identity card, he reportedly travelled to Hong Kong using an Israeli passport before returning to Thailand on June 23, 2019, with the same document.

The ministry also stated that Blustein held Uruguayan citizenship and had used that nationality to travel abroad several times before applying for Thai citizenship. However, he allegedly did not disclose his Uruguayan nationality to officials or express an intention to renounce it during the naturalisation process.

The ministry cited the alleged continued use of his previous nationality and the provision of false information or concealment of material facts about another citizenship as grounds for revoking his Thai citizenship.
