Or elsewhere, Putin has no qualms over sending his assassins to pretty much anywhere to seek out his enemies.

Criminals from all over the world find Thailand a safe heaven. Many of them are from the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Romania, the Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Canada, etc.

They can arrest foreigners quickly but let out Thai murderers on bail to carry on killing

So he is ( was ) a contract killer .

A professional killer who could be hired to kill someone ...

I hope that Karma get's him ...

This guy is not exactly in a good position - he could claim asylum due to the war and being against it, but I think tourism money from his country would negate that

Thailand does not recognize nor support political asylum. The UN Human Rights Commission "delisted" Thailand's Human Rights Commission following the 2014 military coup.

He can try a Thai prison first and then off to spend the rest of his life in an even worse place. Not much of a future for him.

I am not disputing your facts, as I have no knowledge on the subject. However, they did help a beautiful Lady from Burma recently who claimed asylum, and with help ended up in Canada. This Russian Gentleman probably doesn't have the figure for that sort of help......

This topic is about the arrest of a Russian contract killer.

The Russians care about murder ? They are murdering thousands of women and children in Ukraine.
