Seems to me the immigration are targeting the Russians in KPN, 

 

they are targeting anyone working illegally, its just that the Russians are the majority of the offenders.

Tourist Police posed as customers and contacted Denis via Telegram to inquire about the service rates.

so Thai policemen pretended to be Russians? Requested info on Telegram in Russian from Russian ad? 

1 million bribe? 

once dude was arrested for 210 E-pills and got away with 20K Thb. 

This is very "staggering" story. 

Russian mafioso renting 5 scooters?

Police revealed to Channel 3 that Denis was a leading mafia gang member in his home country.

If true, what a come down. Leading Russian mobster to renting out motorbikes to hippie backpackers. Still, better than being sent to war.  

 

Have to admire his front on offering the cops 1 million baht though. I don't think I could do it.

That is probably why the police called in the tourist police. They have volunteers of other nationalities for translations.

Here on Samui, they have a number of nationalities including a Russian speaker.

I am sure that they are also there on KPN. If not, it is a 20 minute boat trip away.

Cancel his Visa ....  deport him .......  confiscate his Vodka 

Deport him to the Front Line and his bikes as they were accomplices in his illegal activity.

 

Are these bike allowed in the Front Line in Crimea or only tanks allowed    ?  

 

Is he from Vasyl'evsky Ostrov  or  Vladivostok  ?

The real surprise here is that a 1 MB bribe was not accepted...    

 

Firstly its a daft amount to offer, but must really show how desperate the Russian was...  But, I find it hard to believe that the BiB did not accept this - quite astonishing.

 

Initially, I also thought that. Then - look at the numbers involved.

The police were involved in the initial investigation, but no Russian speakers.

They then probably call in the tourist police for the language skills.

Finally, immigration are involved for the visa details.

That is quite a few hungry people. :whistling:
