A 45 year old suspect under an arrest warrant from the Southern Bangkok Criminal Court, was apprehended by the police in Nakhon Ratchasima yesterday around 8.40pm. The charges relate to his involvement in an online gambling gang, deceiving the public by impersonating others and maliciously manipulating computer systems to show false information, potentially harming the public.

 

The suspect, Wanchai, confessed that a friend from his village, Surio, invited him and four others to work as accountants for an online gambling gang operating from a ten-storey building in Poipet, Cambodia. The suspect, who claimed he was unaware of the operations on other floors, was restricted to the fifth floor. He revealed that each member received a salary of 20,000 baht per 15-day period.

 

He had opened four bank accounts and last travelled to Cambodia on August 16 returning on August 29. Subsequently, Surio invited him to work again but the police apprehended him before he could leave. Wanchai was handed over to the investigator at Thung Mahamek Police Station to further pursue the case.
