Nigerian Leader of Thai Fraud Ring Arrested in 50M Baht Scam

 

Thailand’s Department of Special Investigation (DSI) arrested a Nigerian national, identified as the leader of a fraud network responsible for scams using horse accounts, with damages exceeding 50 million baht. Known as “Operation Black Horse Down,” the crackdown targeted a gang of Thai and Nigerian nationals linked to romance scams, call center fraud, and drug-related crimes, involving over 1,000 horse accounts. The DSI, with support from AMLO, detained six suspects and is working to track financial routes and seize assets. Under Thailand's Cybercrime Act, those aiding in fraud may face severe penalties, including prison and fines.
