Turkish Engineer Arrested in Pattaya Over Fatal Building Collapse Case

Immigration police arrested a 76-year-old Turkish engineer in Pattaya after discovering he was wanted under an Interpol Red Notice. The suspect, Abdullah Ayababa, was allegedly linked to a deadly building collapse in Adana province, Turkey, during the major earthquake on February 6. Turkish investigators reportedly found that substandard construction materials contributed to the collapse, which caused multiple deaths and injuries. As the supervising engineer, Ayababa was held responsible by Turkish authorities and allegedly fled after charges were filed. Thai immigration officers arrested him at a condominium in Jomtien and are coordinating his return to Turkey for further legal proceedings.
