webfact Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Russian-Ukrainian couple arrested for alleged sale of drug By The Nation Phuket police have arrested a Russian man and his Ukrainian girlfriend for allegedly selling drugs to foreign tourists at a pub in the island province. Phuket police chief Pol Maj-General Thirapol Tipcharoen held a press conference on Thursday evening to announce the arrests of Viktor Dvinskii, 27, and his girlfriend, Berezina Vladyslava, 22. Police seized one ecstasy pill, 14.44 grams of cocaine, and 16.66 grams of marijuana from them. Thirapol said police received a tip-off from a pub in Tambon Kamala in Krathu district that a Russian man had been selling drugs to foreign tourists. Undercover police went to the pub and found Dvinskii visiting the toilet too often. When police searched him, they said they found a small quantity of drugs. Police said they checked his mobile phone and saw the photo of his girlfriend with more drugs, so they took him to his rented house where allegedly more drugs were found. His girlfriend was arrested at the rented house.

Is it worth it! Agreed, and a few recent articles in the BKK Post would seem to indicate that there's a pretty good chance they're being arrested (or at least, ratted out) by their competition. Sorry, no links allowed, but search BKK Post for "rogue cops" and "NSB". Edited January 19, 2018 by impulse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emster23 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Agree with above and add how stupid do you have to be to have photos on your phone of the drugs? On plus side, nice to see Russia-Ukraine relationships improving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rdhowell Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 I'm just wondering if anyone out there reading these comments looks at this common, everyday, photo-op "drug dealer/s busted" media "headline" and realizes that a drug bust really has little if anything to do with the bigger picture here? You look at the photos of smiling officials in other non-drug arrests, and you don't realize that there is something going on that has nothing to do with drugs whatsoever? Wow.

Later article 2 pills, a bit of dope but the coke will see them in problems. It's still not much but these guys don't want non Thais selling.
