Phuket Airport Immigration officer Lt Col Wannee Songchaisanguan said that Snr Sgt Maj Wanchai Narin was on duty in the departure hall on September 14 when a woman approached his desk and handed him her Thai passport. “Sgt Maj Wanchai scanned her passport and was immediately notified of an outstanding arrested warrant. He informed me and we escorted her to the office for questioning,” Col Wannee explained. Immigration Officers had a problem: the woman in their office, who was intending to travel to Bahrain via the United Arab Emirates that night, was travelling with a passport in the name of Ms Natthakarn. This was at odds with the arrest warrant notification which was for a woman named Dujdao Yarana. According to the notification, the arrest warrant was issued by the courts on August 29, charging Ms Dujdao with collaboration in human trafficking connected with the sex trade. “Ms Dujdao denied that she was involved with human trafficking, instead claiming she was a victim of the business. She told us that she was going back to Bahrain to take action against the business operators. However, we contacted the Anti-Human Trafficking Department (AHTD) in Bangkok and they were able to confirm, by her appearance, that we were holding Ms Dujdao,” said Col Wannee. The AHTD emailed Phuket Airport Immigration officers copies of all the information necessary to positively identify the woman as Ms Dujdao, including the arrest warrant, ID card and certificate detailing her change of name. “After showing the documents, Ms Dujdao accepted that her photo was on the documents but she still denied the charge,” said Col Wannee. “Ms Dujdao “Champagne” Yarana was taken at 1.30am to Tah Chat Chai Police Station, where she was met the next day by AHTD officers who escorted her to Bangkok.

uptheos Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 I'm not really interested in how they caught her, but I am interested in how much jail time she will get (if found guilty)? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
db1tau Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 The interesting details are missing: Why did the arrest warrant show up on the computer? Is it linked to the name, picture or other biometric data in the passport, like fingerprints? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenl Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 The interesting details are missing: Why did the arrest warrant show up on the computer? Is it linked to the name, picture or other biometric data in the passport, like fingerprints? Especially since the arrest warrant was for a woman with a different name in her passport. So it must have been other data in her passport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Robert Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Do you believe that the immigration authorities would give away intelligence gathering strategies? The story is an iceberg. In my opinion, the motivation to prevent the trafficing of innocent people should supersede polite policing. Fair trial first, and full force of the law if allegations are proven. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOTIRIOS Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 ....2 questions: 1) Why did they let her go, in the first place ? 2) Why is she smiling ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dap Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 National ID number don't change, even if you change your sex. How can this ID number end up on a passport with a different name? There was a name change certificate so I guess the passport name was changed but the ID number remains the same. Best I could come up with.

ALFREDO Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 (edited) I think the photo in the Passport, her face in the Immigrations desk camera, her photo in the Computers system and the name in the Passport did not fit together.
