They don't want bank robbers and druggies taking large sums. Just say you were a crime victim, here's the paperwork. I got paid out. No problem. I doubt it's anything as straightforward. It is as long as Customs officers are happy with the explanation. There are no restrictions on carrying of legal cash into the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they took his passport then dealing with banks here could be a problem, so goes back to source of funds maybe not 100% legit. He could also have friends from other Countries ?

From the report from the girl, seems he's been there a while , from her FB account "We seek justice for the undeserved harm inflicted on the victim, and there is a genuine concern for our safety, given Eliran Alias’s previous convictions and past dangerous acts we fear for our safety and the safety of others." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted earlier, that there was a person with the same name, having serious criminal past including rape and violence toward women. I don't know if it's indeed the same guy - or when he got to Thailand. Also not sure what the girl's comment refer to (whether to previous convictions in Thailand or not, for instance). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JulesMad Posted February 7 Popular Post Share Posted February 7 The fact that the victim is British is totally irrelevant, the fact that the attacker is Israeli is very relevant. (Israeli national Eliran Alias targeted his female friend with unwelcome advances.) Israeli (in general) are bad tourists with very bad reputation, not loved by anyone!

billd766 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 9 hours ago, impulse said: 200,000 baht, indeed. According to the article, the Brit's part of the Israeli's settlement was over 3 million baht to make him go away. No telling what the popo got out of the deal, but I suspect it was more than 3 million. BTW, I'd check the veracity of the Israeli's ID. With a name like "Alias", I wonder if he just got an ID off the shelf and didn't pay extra to give himself a real name. It may have been a translation error, and perhaps the Israeli's name was Elias and not Alias. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a misspelling of Elias - which is a common name for Israelis of Spanish/Portuguese descent. Unfortunately in Israel the legal system is extremely lenient towards violent crimes, so psychos like this walk free even when they commit heinous acts of violence. Stabbings and worse offences are common. A lot of these goons are also involved in mafia/criminal organizations, which would explain how this human trash had that much money to settle the case. Sadly it seems like he'll walk to commit another atrocity in the future - until one day he actually murders someone, which he will, and money won't be able to solve it. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever you want to call it, it is compensation but, even if it called "hush money" (your words, no one else's), it would be money obtained legally and publicly and its source would be established easily. Customs are only concerned that large amounts of cash have been obtained legally, that is not part of a money laundering exercise and that any necessary tax has been paid. But he probably would not be carrying that amount of cash, anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IslandLover Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 13 hours ago, sambum said: I thought the injured party was from Bristol, and the attacker was an Israeli. Where do the Germans come into it? Apart from the fact they started WW2 (John Cleese 😀) Sambum, I was replying to another poster who commented on my anecdote of witnessing a similar incident in a bar in Phuket in the early 1980s. It involved a drunken German tourist in a fight over a girl, and nobody got harmed fortunately. I'm well aware this latest incident involved a Briton and an Israeli and that the Israeli was the aggressor. Germans wielding broken beer bottles can be just as dangerous as Israelis, or any other nationality for that matter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IslandLover Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 (edited) 13 hours ago, Morch said: Tried to look up the name on Israeli media. I think spelling/pronunciation is more like Elias, which is not an uncommon name surname. Found a couple, one an aspiring new singer (from some reality show), the other a criminal with a history of rape/abuse/violence toward women plus other stuff. Last report on the latter is from 2009. Could be he served time in prison, then moved here - there were stories about such in the past. Also, having this sort of cash on hand is suspicious, and knowing how to work the payment angle may indicate some experience in this department. There is an Instagram account in the name of "Eliran Alias" which is set to "private". It could be him judging by the profile picture (i.e. right age group). If 100,000 Euros has been offered to make the case go away, he's likely some rich kid with rich parents, like those who raped that girl in Cyprus a while back. EDIT - Looking at his picture on the Reddit thread posted earlier, the Instagram account I found is his. It also says he tried to set fire to his girlfriend in Israel 15 years ago. Nice guy - not! It also says he has been fined THB 2500 by the Samui Court after confessing to the crime. Edited February 7 by IslandLover 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
