Popular Post webfact Posted July 1, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 1, 2021 Picture: Naew Na Twenty employees of a Chinese backed loan sharking operation managed to "flee the scene" despite a raid by top brass Thai police. The raiding party at Phailin Park on Ratanathibet Road Soi 28 in Nonthaburi was headed by Pol Maj-Gen Suwat Saengnum accompanied by Pol Col Pornsak Laorujiralai and Pol Col Bunleu Phadungthin armed with a search warrant and assisted by other officers. There were 50 employees at three buildings but 20 managed to escape arrest. 130 computers were taken into evidence. The equipment was spread throughout the converted offices at the three, four story buildings. Police said that the loan sharking operation - through "Chang Pheuak and Chang Archeep 'best loans" sites - had been running for years. But they were constantly moving around and had been located in Chiang Rai, Phetchaburi and Chonburi in the past. They had been in their present offices for the last two months. A Chinese investor is behind the business. Naew Na made much of the "cruel" nature of the loans largely skirting over the fact so many people slipped away, notes Thaivisa. Forty percent of the loan was subtracted at source but the full amount had to be repaid. That is to say if someone borrowed 2,000 baht they would only get 1,200 baht but when the loan period is up - usually 7 days - they would have to repay the full 2,000 baht. After that interest is usually charged on top. -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2021-07-01 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who no doubt was not arrested (I am sure the story would have said so if he had been), and will carry on as usual, leaving the small fish to go to jail. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should read; "Twenty employees of a Chinese backed loan sharking operation managed to "flee the scene" because of a raid by top brass Thai police. The rest were not far enough up the food chain to get the memo." 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Los for words Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Typo in the headline. Should read, 'thanks to', rather than 'despite'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden Triangle Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 It sort of makes sense to cover all exits prior to storming the building. ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Tracy Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 The trouble with being promoted to the natural level of incompetence. Major Generals and Colonels should be behind desks where they are no danger to the public. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargeezr Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Yes it is so much dependent on those brown envelopes, or quick cash at the escaping door. Thailand is still truly Amazing... Geezer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
