PHUKET: The seven French nationals arrested for extorting 5,000 euros from a 21-year-old French tourist’s parents back in France by sending a video threatening the woman’s safety have yet to have their statements taken by police.

 

The seven were arrested last Tuesday (Mar 6) at a rental house in Kamala, though the kidnap victim was taken from Patong in the early hours of Sunday morning (Mar 4) and held her hostage at a house in Chalong until her parents paid the 5,000-euro ransom (about B194,000) later that same day. 

 

Key to the French gang’s statements is that during initial questioning by police they accused the Frenchwoman they abducted of stealing 5,000 euros from them.

Of course not, when they like or need them they very much are French.
