Police confirmed that two Russian female students, who have been involved in a months-long court case after the woman who rented them a room reported them for bleaching salvaged coral in Karon, Phuket, have finally been allowed to return home to Russia after being fined by the court.

 

Liliya Karmanova, 20, and Polina Likman, 21, left Thailand on March 23, according to Phuket Immigration Office Chief Col. Kathathorn Kumthieng.

 

However, none of various officials involved in the case were able to confirm the exact amount of fines paid by the Russians for the violation. Earlier it was reported that under Thai law they could face a fine of up to THB20,000 or up to a year in jail, or both.
