International motorcycle gang and Indonesian drug syndicate nabbed in Thailand crackdown

[snoop1130]

 

An international motorcycle gang and a major Indonesian drug gang, both of whom had fled to Thailand, have been apprehended in a sweeping operation by the Thai Immigration Bureau (IB). The series of arrests also included the capture of a notorious human trafficking network operating in the Sa Kaeo province.

 

The Deputy Commissioner of the Royal Thai Police, Police Lieutenant General Roy Ingkapairoj, instructed the Chief of the Immigration Bureau, Police Lieutenant General Phakphumpipat Sajjapun to task Police Lieutenant Colonel Pattana Nutchanat, Deputy Chief of the IB, Police Lieutenant Colonel Thanit Thaiwatcharamas, Director of the IB Secretariat, and Police Lieutenant Colonel Woritsiri Lelasiri, Director of the Immigration Division 3, with the operation, reported KhaoSod.

 

The first significant arrest was that of Den, a German national wanted by his homeland’s authorities for a serious assault. The German Federation had requested his extradition to face punishment under the German Penal Code for causing grievous bodily harm to another person. The German Attorney General had already issued an arrest warrant for Den.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't think so....

 

Beyond the headline reference and a brief reference in the first paragraph, the entire full linked article has absolutely no details or information at all about anything regarding the supposed Indonesian drug gang or the supposed notorious human trafficking network operating in the Sa Kaeo province.

 

But, the article does have a terrific second paragraph where author should win some award for being able to squeeze the names and police ranks of FIVE senior officers -- who most likely had little directly to do with whatever arrests occurred -- all into a single paragraph!

 

Glad to see they're focusing on the important stuff, and not worrying about any of the details of what the report was actually supposed to be about.

international motorcycle gang

Misleading title… one person (Gang?) picked up on warrant issued by another country.
 

Hells Angels .. according to wiki The Hells Angels Motorcycle Club (HAMC) is an international outlaw motorcycle club whose members typically ride Harley-Davidson motorcycles.
 

Doesn’t say illegal even though it’s well known some members supposedly involved in illegal activity. . 
 

Kind of interesting topics but story doesn’t say much..

Great headline. The motorcycle gang was just one man. Although the linked article does not mention the Indonesian drug team I applaud the arrest of the entire network. ????

If you keep scrolling down the linked article past the ads that punctuate it, you'll find two more paragraphs with a little more info which begins to justify the headline, a bit.

On my PC with Firefox, the full article ends with the following sentence relating to the one German guy's case... not anything about the other two cases...

 

'His girlfriend acted as a decoy to lure the victim to the pool, where they ambushed and shot him."

 

And then there's a final paragraph, as is customary with Thaiger, that summarizes an entirely different past article with a somewhat related topic.

"Doesn’t say illegal..."

What do you think "outlaw" means?  It sure doesn't mean "legal"!

I won't bother reading it then.
