Italian charged for porno production
The Nation



BANGKOK: -- An Italian man was arrested in Bangkok's Bang Kho Laem district for allegedly making pornographic films, Immigration Police deputy chief Pol Maj-General Warin Boonyakiat told a press conference yesterday. The suspect denied the charge.

Police say their investigation found that 58-year-old Marco Lazzarini was running the porn website perverx.com from a house in Soi Sathupradit 20. Police say they made the arrest after searching Lazzarini's house and finding film-making tools, sex props and a computer.

An initial police investigation found that Lazzarini had visited Thailand four times as tourist, had a Filipino wife, and allegedly used Thailand and the Philippines as a base for making porn films. Police have charged him with violating the Computer Crimes Act, punishable by five years in jail and/or a Bt100,000 fine, and revoked his Thai visa.

Almost anything can be deemed a crime under the so called Computer Crimes Act! I suppose this man will be deemed a threat to national security.

The suspect denied the charge.

I wonder if Marco explained the evidence as,

She was just helping me with a stuck zipper and I decided to film it

The ability to view an elderly man having sex does come at pretty stiff prices on his website.

935 Baht for 30 days

1,869 Baht for 60 days

2,802 Baht for 180 days

(Euro prices converted)

but some must think it worthwhile, perhaps they are swayed by his website advertising,

The perverst and kinkiest babes are waiting for you

Looks like the eternal ham...the pic looks like he is still acting with a catch phrase..."can't you just see it....BIB starring in my films"....the coppers almost look taken in.

Shame he won't be able to monopolise on the hit rates he must be getting this morning. Wonder how his G! Analytics referral figures will look now. Bet he never had thaivisa.com on there before

[WinnieTheKhwai]

Clearly broke the law; deserves some punishment or extradition. But to use the computer crimes act really shows what a horrific law that is. It's Thailand's Patriot Act.

[necronx99]

If he is innocent, he must have a very bad back to need all those massagers...

It's a very scary law but when you look at its source, the military junta, you should not be suprised, it's basically a catch-all act. An unofficial english translation is here

In the pic, its kinda hard to tell which items are wireless microphones on the table for the news and which are dildos...

[telldem]

Look at all those dildos......... I'm talking about the ones behind the Italian gentleman,

[noitom]

This is a very big bust! This bust ferrets out corruption at all levels, reverses the inept educational system, and knocks back drug use and sex tourism. This bust will save Thailand. Hallelulah!!

No one deserves punishment for having sex and filming it.

When you look around in Thailand, there are much more serious crimes unpunished.......

And I complete agree on the laws.....It is happening in all countries now.

Recently in Austria one guy wrote something forbidden in a forum (that laws about second worldwar) even tried to mask his traces by a software which claims to be 100 % save that no one ever kind find out where it comes from.

A day later police took him....

[wintermute]

He looks like Mario from the Nintendo game Super Mario Bros.

Yes, depending on who's doing the interpretation, it's being broken several times a day by most of us right here on TV.

But that's actually true for the whole legal system here, make everyone a criminal and TPTB can choose who to "crack down" down and for what at their whim, most often where it will further their own personal self-interest.

IMO he's being punished for being stupid, trying to make a living at something like that here. I think marijuana should be legal, but if you're being indiscreet about it here and get busted, won't find much sympathy here. . .

Stupid to believe any claims like that, or to rely on a single layer of security. There are ways to be 99.99% safe from a purely technical POV, especially from most local police forces, but of course it's a crime to use such methods here, or even to teach people how to use them.

OTOH if the three-letter agencies of the world police are highly motivated they've got the resources, not necessarily just online either, not much defense against the rubber-hose decryption method. . .

[ratcatcher]

This is what I call an impressive tool kit.
Holes and poles,pumps and dilators for all occasions,metric and imperial.
Even more probes than the government,

Signor Marco also looks as though he's about to conduct the Boys in Brown Police Choir in the chorus from Rossini's Barber of Seville- Fingaro.

I am not surprised that it is possible to find that guy. I am surprised that the technology to find someone is so common that they use it on an idiot who was posting something silly in one of the more unimportant newspapers in an unimportant country.

It wasn't a group of paedophiles. it was just one guy posting something.

You are posting drunk in the evening "I doubt that Hitler killed 6 Millionen Jews" and next day in the morning they take you in jail.

That is pure Orwell.....

Tried that link and it was blocked and even when I used certain measures it seems as thought site might be down, any other links in English to the act? Thanks!

Perhaps Chalerm's Internet War Room could be of assistance.

Although barring help from those that block the sites, it's also available here:

The police are still pouring over this website, as it's not been blocked yet!!! He broke the law but the website is totally legal??

[siampolee]

Strangely though Newins Japanese slappers at his Songkran party shindig were ignored by the B.I.B.

Not dual standards surely?

I wonder what they are pouring over their cop monitors ? Somchai come and look at this.

'Pon me soul, you're right , the (sight) site is still up and running.

I think it's so funny that just because they only arrest foreigners for producing pornography in Thailand, they think they have successfully convinced the world that the reason illegal porn keeps getting produced in the Kingdom is because of those naughty, depraved foreigners. It's almost as if to say: "No, no, world! It isn't the incredibly lax law enforcement and rampant prostitution that draws in amateur porn directors, it's that foreign morality that's really the problem. Don't worry Thailand. Mai pen rai. It's just farang (and the Japanese) that do these things. We Thais are the most morally pure people on the planet Thailand."

Luckily they did not classified a "dick" as a iron tool making attribute. We would have been all in trouble. Just a set-up if they arrested anyone with a dildo or computer Thai immigration would need Phuket as a prison island.

Shoot him,noooo stick him in an isolated cell and throw away the key.

When will this country grow up?

[oilreg]
