Big Joke: Swedes arrested after quarter of a billion baht money laundering operation

 

Picture: INN

 

Immigration chief Lt-Gen Surachate Hakparn announced the arrest of two Swedish nationals wanted by the Swedish authorities for involvement in a large international money laundering operation. 

 

Bo Karl Robin Lundholm, 38, was arrested at the end of Sukhumvit Soi 31 in Bangkok in November. 

 

On hearing the news his accomplice in crime Jan Olof Norlander, 51, fled the capital.

 

He was found hiding in Bung Sam Phan district of Petchabun.

 

They are wanted by the Swedes for laundering 68,000,000 Swedish krona that INN said was about 248 million Thai baht.

 

The crime took place between January 2016 and April 2018. 

 

Both the men had had their passports annulled by the Swedish authorities and requested their capture and  extradition.

 

Lt-Gen Surachate - speaking under a banner that proclaimed " Efficient Service, Standardized Practice, Security Awareness - asked the public to give him a call if they suspect wrong doing.

Wow! These guys are good. 

Claim political asylum 

Good heavens, Vikings being naughty boys, what should we call them?

Scumbags sounds appropriate.

If they hidden in New Zealand, they'd never been found by the Swedish authorities.

Off the top of my head, I can think of better countries to wash money. The fact that you need your passport and/or ID to exchange foreign currency in the first place and a lot more additional paperwork to send it out from the country. 

 

I kind of think that Thailand is probably where these guys were based/hiding and not where they operated their actual washing business. Could be wrong.

Can you repatriate someone to a country that has annulled their passports without issuing new ones ? 

My guess: they thought they had to put 800,000 not THB but USD in the bank to extend their visa. And then they made an error in the number of 000s.

Thanks, I was wondering what post #15 was all about ????

 

 

A job well done by the Thai police. Hopefully they'll be locked away for life, though that won't be the case if they're returned to Sweden.

I guess the welfare state did not look after all their needs.

Good luck they get extradited to Sweden ........ Stockholm Hilton is arguably a notch better than the Bangkok counterpart I would assume! 

Now we know why Thailand is so popular with Swedish tourists

Starbucks don't show it on their map either. Must be a conspiracy to stop the world knowing of its existence.
