Popular Post webfact Posted June 6 Popular Post Share Posted June 6 Picture courtesy: Khaosod Immigration Bureau officers have detained an Australian man in Pattaya amid allegations of involvement in his home country's crimes and mafia gang connections in Thailand. The man, identified only as Grey, was apprehended at his luxury residence following suspicions linking him to a foreign mafia group operating in Phuket. Details about the gang remain scarce. The breakthrough in Grey's case was publicly disclosed during a press conference on 5th June. His arrest stems from previous events involving a British man who sparked an investigation in November last year after a mishap with a gun at a Phuket nightclub. The British suspect, who accidentally dropped a firearm in front of the venue, triggered a security alert that led to police intervention. On police arrival, he and his associates fled but were later captured. This British individual had a lengthy criminal record and past imprisonment in the UK for various offences. Picture courtesy: Siam Rath Grey managed to evade immediate capture following some gang members' exodus from Thailand post-British suspect's arrest. Continuous probes into his activities revealed multiple drug charges pending against him in Australia. Grey moved from Phuket to Pattaya, believing he might elude the intensified scrutiny but was ultimately caught by authorities. Parallel incidents include another Australian man's arrest in Phuket in March for overstaying his visa and attempting to dodge a hospital bill following a motorcycle accident. Moreover, another Australian was detained the same month for stealing a motorcycle from a Koh Samui rental shop and travelling with it to Koh Pha Ngan. These arrests highlight the ongoing efforts of Thai authorities to clamp down on foreign criminals exploiting the country as a hideout. -- 2024-06-07 Get our Daily Newsletter - Click HERE to subscribe 1 1 1 3 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ezzra Posted June 6 Popular Post Share Posted June 6 Thailand has this reputation among criminals that one can easily stay/hide there and stil do they dirty deeds if they choose to and if got caught, there's a good chance to pay your way free and this is why so many of them are taking residency in places where they can get lost among the many other .foreigners that just looks like them.. 2 2 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post spermwhale Posted June 6 Popular Post Share Posted June 6 It really astounds me taht the reports are so lazy or too afraid to ask for the suspect's full name. And then what baffles me even more is that they are blacking out the faces of these foreign criminals. Why protect them? 1 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post wensiensheng Posted June 7 Popular Post Share Posted June 7 A lot of talk about mafia connections and “crimes” which sound serious, but the only crimes the alleged gang have been arrested on are dodging a hospital bill, overstay and stealing a motorbike. They don’t sound like criminal masterminds or up there with the Gambino family. Lowlifes for sure though 5 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
