Popular Post Jonathan Fairfield Posted June 2, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 2, 2021 An American man wanted in connection with the kidnapping of a Taiwanese businessman in Bangkok has been arrested attempting to leave Thailand. The 38 year old man was arrested at Suvarnabhumi Airport on Wednesday in accordance with an arrest warrant issued at South Bangkok Criminal Court last month. He faces a number of charges including abduction, extortion and attempted murder. The man, who denies the charges, is being held at Lumpini Police Station pending further legal action. Daily News reported there are a total of 16 suspects in the case, including 10 Thais and 6 foreigners. So far, 9 people have been arrested. The first of the arrests came last month when two American men were arrested in Bangkok. Officers from Thailand’s Crime Suppression Division say that one of the American men fell out with the Taiwanese man due to a dispute over a failed business deal for surgical gloves totalling US$3 million. The two American men deny the charges and have since been released on bail but must wear electronic tags and can not leave Thailand. On Tuesday, it was reported that two serving police officers were also arrested in connection with the case. -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2021-06-02 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am willing to bet they will leave Thailand. I would be amazed if they didn't pay some under the table to get bail. I have seen it before twice, coincidentally both were from the USA facing jailable offences, and both escaped. One was a quite infamous Noisy "fake lawyer/publisher" in Pattaya that some of the old-timers would know. I predict the Americans will "escape" which will result in the two Thai coppers either blaming the "escapees" fully or the court throwing the case out because of lack of witnesses. 12 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post mbenson Posted June 2, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 2, 2021 I bet the Farangs thought that the fix was in, what with their police partners. I don't understand how they could have been so brazen in abducting the guy otherwise. Broad daylight, public place etc. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebean001 Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 any time a person commits a crime with another person or more, they are totally vulnerable to being arrested. All that is needed is for 1 person to get arrested. That person will turn on all the others. They all become 'dead meat' when that happens. the person will get 0 time in jail if they turn on the others. it is that simple. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeEboy Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 They would have had to gone through a third country but what were they going to do when they hit a US Port of Entry? Maybe they were in the "Global Traveler" expedited entry plan. ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, I think the Cambodian border will be the destination, although that can be a bit of a minefield!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only if you believe his actions were legal - which it seems they weren't..... So you agree with the Hi-so I can do whatever I want and get away with it. Nice, hopefully something doesn't happen to you or your family and you want justice.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mvdf Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Bang Kwang and Klong Prem are bad enough but being there when the pandemic is raging within those prison walls can make even a US marine's knees buckle. If he has the means, he should try to get bail like his alleged accomplices. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I can just see Lumpini Police cell floors being all marked out with sleeping places 1.5 mts apart and a fresh box of masks on the dressing table lol! Just go back a bit and study that arrest video to see how many cops with no masks or with them hanging under their chins lol! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
