Iranian Boxer Avoids Capture Following Theft from Burmese Woman

Featured Replies

Last year in Bangkok's Phra Khanong area, a Burmese woman, Nang Mwe Hlaing, got drugged and robbed by her ex-boyfriend, an Iranian boxer named Maleki Behnam. Despite her report to the local police, Behnam still remains at large.

 

Hlaing, a 25-year-old lady, met Behnam at a Muay Thai match and later allowed him to stay at her condominium intermittently.

 

According to Hlaing, Behnam drugged her with yogurt, and when she regained her consciousness, she found Behnam gone, along with valuables amounting to over a million baht.

 

Hlaing revealed that the stolen items included 410,000 baht in cash, two iPhones, an ASUS laptop, an iPad Air 4, a Rolex watch, debit cards, and key cards to her condominium.

 

She was able to track her discarded iPhone to a canal near her building using the Find my iPhone feature.

 

Moreover, Hlaing discovered ten days later that about 20 million baht, or roughly USD 660,000, in cryptocurrency was moved from her account to three different accounts, making her suspect Behnam wasn't acting alone.

 

Despite her suspicions and supporting surveillance footage, Bangkok police found insufficient evidence against Behnam's associate to issue an arrest warrant.

 

The case remains unsolved and Hlaing who occasionally suffers from panic attacks expressed her continued fear of possible harm from the thief or his associates.

 

Even though she managed to recover some of her lost valuables valued at about USD 600,000, she has yet to retrieve them.

The wonderful RTP at your service. Sounds like they didn't even take him in for questioning.

If he’s an Irani, there’s not many places that he can travel to without a visa, unless he has a 2nd passport?

 

Red notices normally only work when you’re entering a country. Knew someone from the UK who had one on him but was in LOS for years. His solicitor told him just don’t go travelling to any western countries.

Evidently a rich young Burmese lady has less pure blood than a Thai doctor.

Extradition depends on the country that he's in wanting to co-operate with the Thai police, the RTP cannot demand it.  There is a Red Notice but that doesn't do anything except advise member police forces, so there is actually not much they can do.

More evidently, the RTP cannot do anything about an Iranian thief who immediately left the country after the theft and didn't return.

Oops, sorry, wrong bloke, there isn't a Notice for this Iranian but it wouldn't help them anyway unless his country co-operates with the RTP and for extradition the RTP need to tell the police of the country he's in exactly where he's located, so, still not much they can do.

They can also work for those already in the country if the whereabouts are known.

They work find foreigners who work online on a laptop, the biggest danger for national security.

Indeed, so much B.S. posted here.   She seems to be involved in a successful business but we couldn't have that here, could we?

Because those foreigners are in Thailand!  The Iranian thief isn't and isn't a danger to national security, either.

Could be the crypto currency since they mentioned it was around $600K worth of crypto in the article. Since they knew the money was transferred through 3 different accounts she knows where it is, just can't access it without the account codes. Unlike a bank account that the authorities can freeze and access, crypto accounts can be a bit more challenging to access even if you know the account. Thats one reason many involved in shady deals like crypto over cash and banks.

Lots of a rich Burmese that have second homes in Thailand. They are very high on the Thai Sales list. Also many business people from Burma who left before the country became a war zone.

Why does she need to show others her source of wealth especially those on social media….
