Mozambican sought for murder arrested in Bangkok

Momade Assif Abdul Satar

 

A Mozambican has been arrested in Bangkok for allegedly masterminding crimes including murder and kidnapping in his homeland and other African nations.

 

Momade Assif Abdul Satar, 35, is accused of kidnapping people and demanding ransoms of up to Bt100 million – and killing the abducted if the ransom was not paid.

 

“Mozambican authorities have said the suspect has ordered the abductions of more than 50 businesspeople who visited Mozambique in the past three years,” Tourist Police deputy chief Pol Maj-General Surachate Hakpal said Sunday. 

 

 

He said a gang led by Satar had allegedly killed and harmed Mozambican officials and their families. The public prosecutor who ordered his arraignment was shot in the head 16 times. 

 

Surachate said the United States contacted Thailand about the arrest warrant for Satar, who fled his country three years ago. 

 

“Mozambique asked for the help of a US Federal Bureau of Investigation office in Africa and the FBI office in Bangkok was alerted,” he said. The Tourist Police Division then received a report about Satar. 

 

Its investigation revealed that Satar entered Thailand under the name Sahime Mohammad Aslam three years ago. He was arrested on July 25 at a luxury hotel in Bangkok. He was unable to produce a passport and allegedly offered a bribe in exchange for his freedom.

 

Fingerprints confirmed he is the suspect wanted by Mozambique, Surachate said. “We will deport him next week and bar him from re-entering.” 

 

He added that authorities would investigate people who worked for Satar in Thailand.

Definitely a person best held in custody and not allowed to roam the streets as a free man. Hopefully justice will be served eventually for his crimes

Being shot in the head 16 times must be the very definition of 'overkill'.

Maybe the police there is like the RTP: less than 15 shots in the head is suicide.

  Mindless, plus then he wears the grey brain matter like some kind of furry hat.

[Darcula]

Must be freezing cold in the police station.

 

[maccastime]

How did he get into Thailand 3 years ago?? Great system.

[colinneil]

Not a lover of the RTP, but have to say well done.

If this man is as bad as they say  he definitely needs putting away for a long time.

Was the comedy hat implying some sort of Russian link or possible ear infection. BJ broke him in just a few words and nods.

That's why I asked where is he really from.

[eggers]

How come these undesirables seem to find their way to Thailand, enter & remain here unchecked for years???

[Alphy]

This cretin seems to be a nasty piece of work. Well done the Thai Authorities for apprehending him and disposing of him to his Motherland.

They are plenty of Arabs with Omani and Yemeni origins around Mozambique, Zambia, East-Congo and Zimbabwe.

Their ancestors were mainly slave traders based in Zanzibar.

I thought this was a trick question at first

You really think a mafia of the highest level will have trouble getting a fake passport or paying off officials ? 3rd world are easy to bribe up till a point. obviously this task force was having none of it especially due to the high profile of the case

[ttrd]

Seems that someone need to change their information Source...??...

 

RE - Momade Assif Abdul Satar, 35, is accused of kidnapping people and demanding ransoms of up to Bt100 million

 

Ransoms demanded in these kidnappings were believed to run to millions of U.S. dollars sometimes - means up to 67m/thb and NOT 100m/thb…

 

RE - The public prosecutor who ordered his arraignment was shot in the head 16 times. 

 

A prosecutor for the Mozambican capital Maputo, who was probing kidnapping cases of businessmen that have plagued Mozambican cities since late 2011, was murdered on Monday, police have said.

Marcelino Vilankulo was shot three times in the head near his home in the Maputo suburb of Matola by unidentified gunmen in a vehicle at around 19:00 local time, and died on the spot - means shot 3 times and NOT 16 times....
