Jung, a 33-year-old South Korean national, was arrested by Thai immigration officials on December 25 in a high-end condominium in Pattaya. Sought for his alleged role in a major illegal gambling ring, Jung was found with South Korean and Vanuatu passports.

 

He was wanted under a South Korean arrest warrant for his links to illegal online gambling networks like Top Plus Bet and B-Plus. These groups had been operating illegally in South Korea for over five years, using 80 bank accounts to launder money amounting to over 592.6 billion won (about 15 billion baht or US$438 million).

 

 

Jung allegedly managed the operations, databases, and fund distribution of these networks. After a police crackdown in South Korea, he fled to Thailand to evade arrest. During his apprehension, authorities seized computers, phones, and other electronics. It was also revealed that Jung had overstayed his visa in Thailand. He is currently detained and awaiting deportation.
