Popular Post snoop1130 Posted May 16 Popular Post Share Posted May 16 In a dramatic twist at Phuket International Airport, immigration officers apprehended a 25 year old Swedish-Russian man, just as he was about to flee to Kuala Lumpur. The arrest follows a disturbing incident of robbery and extortion that left a young Russian woman traumatised. Police Lieutenant General Ittipol Ittisarnronnachai, the commissioner of the Immigration Bureau, disclosed the details of the Swedish-Russian national, Oleksandr’s arrest. He was promptly handed over to Chalong Police Station for interrogation and prosecution. The case began on the night of May 8 when Diera, a 23 year old Russian national, reported an alarming ordeal to Chalong Police. She had arranged to meet Oleksandr through the Telegram app at a villa in Chalong subdistrict to exchange 25,000 baht for US$700 in cryptocurrency. During their meeting, another Russian accomplice entered the scene unnoticed. The pair violently overpowered Diera, covering her head with a bag, tying her up, and seizing her phone. Under duress, they forced her to transfer additional funds. When she claimed to have no money left, Oleksandr struck her until she revealed her phone password. Finding her online account empty, they compelled her to summon a friend for more cash. The criminals stole US$2,000 (approximately 70,000 baht) and 6,000 baht, totalling 104,546 baht, before releasing her. Shaken but determined, Diera immediately reported the crime to Chalong Police. The quick action led to Phuket Immigration placing Oleksandr on a watchlist. His attempt to escape was thwarted as he was arrested at the airport on charges of night-time robbery, reported KhaoSod English.

Well done BiB... While I'm often critical of the general degree of apathy within the Thai Police Force, this is not one of those situations... I hope these scum get put away for a decent amount of time - must have been a horrific ordeal for the woman. 2 2 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, he is a Ukrainian man, not Russian. Russian people do not have the names like Oleksandr! This is a typical Ukrainian name. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was arrested at the airport, I would presume he had a swedish and/or Russian passport on him. It is actually difference in spelling. In russian passport he must be Aleksandr, in Ukrainian passport it will be spelled Oleksandr. If he immigrated to Sweden from Ukraine, his name in Swedish passport will be also Oleksandr. And yep, he can be ethnically russian, you never know. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukrainian_name Олександр (Oleksandr [olekˈsɑnd(e)r] ⓘ), equivalent to Alexander, of Greek origin.
