webfact Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Russian wanted on Interpol notice arrested in Chonburi Picture: Naew Na Naew Na reported that a Russian building contractor had been arrested in Chonburi. The Russian man had been hiding out in Thailand after allegedly swindling the Russian prosecutor's office over the contract for a building in the city of Sergach. His arrest came after a helpful member of the public in Thailand contacted immigration to report him which led to contact with the Russian embassy over the man's status. An Interpol notice was out for his arrest. It was discovered that he had been in and out of Thailand since December 2011 with the latest arrival being at Ban Pakard, Chanthaburi, in September of last year. He had been given a one month permission of entry into Thailand but had overstayed by 347 days when Chonburi immigration came calling. He has allegedly swindled the Russian prosecutor's office out of 20 million baht in the building deal. On this occasion no mention was made of Immigration's biometrics system, notes Thaivisa.

Just1Voice Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 They didn't mention the biometrics - because, apparently, they didn't work. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigand Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Looks like he maybe annoyed a local who snitched on him. No police work going off there just a random result from chance ... Interpol notice out for him too (probably for a while). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, it's still the police not working - well, we know how faulty they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

POMRAKSIAM Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 The police must be going broke making elaboret picture boards. This time the board should be reduced to only 1 picture, the guy who put the cuffs on him. Or maybe the "concerned netizen" who fingered him.
