Popular Post webfact Posted November 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 8, 2023 In a sweeping crackdown, Thai law enforcement officials detained a German suspect, known under the alias "Mike," aged 32, on charges related to child abuse. The operation, which took place on November 7, targeted the individual who had previously eluded capture by international police agencies, reported Siam Rath. Picture: Siam Rath The man faced a warrant from the Hamburg Court, accusing him of serious offenses including the creation and dissemination of explicit content involving minors and forcing children into objectionable activities. Picture: Siam Rath The Royal Thai Police, following directives to intensify the crackdown on foreigners engaged in illegal activities within Thailand, executed the arrest. The policies, set forth by the National Police Chief and his deputies, aim to safeguard public peace and national image by curbing illegal and inappropriate behaviors among residents, both Thai and foreign. Picture: Siam Rath Mike, who had been residing in Thailand on a temporary visa since December 15, 2019, was traced to a residence in Chiang Dao, Chiang Mai, after the German Embassy in Thailand alerted the Thai Foreign Affairs Division about his criminal charges. Upon verification of his criminal activities, his permission to stay in the kingdom was revoked. Picture: Siam Rath A thorough investigation led the immigration police to the house where Mike had been hiding. Following his arrest, the homeowner was fined for failing to report the harboring of a foreign national within 24 hours. Mike is now detained by the Immigration Bureau awaiting extradition to Germany to face charges.

Who are the other guys with fuzzy faces? Cracked it. Photos are not of this crime. Those photos are from another bust according to the BP. The article there is about two Taiwanese and two Japanese folk scamming 9.5 billion baht from people in Japan. Same main photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimjim1 Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 As I read this report I came upon the word EXECUTED and my heart soared but then I read THE ARREST, so had to settle on the consolation that at least one more of these grubby heartless degenerates has been removed from society for the time being. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, if we rent to a foreigner, we are considered to be "harboring" them? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Daley Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 So he gets no punishment at all, but I get an 11,000 baht visa fine from some bent cops? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These types of criminals are everywhere. Even in the US a few police are being caught for perpetrating these heinous crimes. Wonder how the guy managed to elude capture by international police agencies when traveling through the airports and borders of Europe. On an air ticket one sees this cost/tax called Advanced passenger information (API) which enables Member States to use the API data for law enforcement purposes. Wonder why the criminals can't be detected then. Edited November 9, 2023 by freeworld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends if an arrest warrant was issued before or after he fled his country. Perhaps he knew the cops were closing in on him, so he quickly flew overseas.
