Police arrest two foreigners on the lam

BANGKOK: -- Immigration police have separately arrested a Slovak and a Turk, both of whom were wanted by Interpol.

Immigration police commissioner Pol Maj Gen Panu Kerdlarbpon, said Jozef Polonec, 49, was arrested in Chon Buri's Bang Lamung district on charges of raping his 14-year-old daughter in Slovakia between 2007 and 2010.

He has a court arrest warrant out on him and is on Interpol's red notice for the offence. He fled to Thailand in 2012. He would be charged of overstaying his visa first and deported later, Panu said.

Meanwhile police nabbed Turkish national Muhsin Iflazoglu, 40, who fled an arrest warrant issued by a Turkish Court and is on Interpol's red notice for the alleged extortion of about US$10,000 through his used car business.

He was earlier jailed for six years after shooting and injuring many people in his home country when a bar owner failed to repay debts of US$60,000. He fled to Thailand and was arrested while selling kebabs at Khao Sarn Road.

And the quality tourists keep coming to Thailand.

Well done to the police for arresting them.

[Redr0m]

The sums of money involved in these two's crimes are small beer. It is time the Thai government got foreign immigration services to arrest Thai criminals abroad whose crimes make these two look like small change.

<deleted>??? Arresting a wanted child rapist is like the best deed they have done for long. I childs well being is worth more than a billion $

You don't forget to take in your medicine .....

[Tatsujin]

If both of these were on the Interpol wanted list, "how" did they manage to get into Thailand in the first place? Shouldn't they have been stopped at the airport/border crossing?

[kurtgruen]

Get rid of the scum. Too much of it in this Country!

Selling kebabs at Khao Sarn road ? thats gold

Why Ask,

Bbecause this topic isn't about Thaksin!!! bit you typically turned it into one, many would consider that trolling..

Personally I think the man is a complete and utter tosser, and I don't believe I've ever defended his actions, so I'll refute your comments and put them down to the fact you've got a chip on your shoulder like a Canadian Redwood when it comes to anything that doesn't.

Here it is again just incase you didn't quite get it.. I have NO LOVE for THAKSIN, nor his actions ...

[impulse]

I think someone ought to come up with a TV equivalent of Godwin's Law ("As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1").

"As a TV discussion grows longer at all, the probability of a comparison involving Thaksin rapidly approaches 1"

[coma]

Those Kebabs will get you every time.

[Fat Haggis]

So congratulating the apprehension of a possible kiddie fiddler isn't worthy of praise?

I fail to see how that somehow manifests itself into supporting Thaksin ??

Now if this thread was about him, and him being aprehended, I'd be every bit as happy, and please, less of this, you've not been here long enough crap, I've been here long enough to have an impartial opinion that neither the reds, or the yellows appeal to me. I've been here long enough to have been fined by the Poilce as well, so what, I'm not as bitter about it as some other folk seem to be.

[tomyummer]

The first jerk can be tortured and executed for his deeds, but maybe Mr. Iflazoglu can be used to help the rice farmers collect?

<deleted> sake ,i liked the kebabs there

im hapy the pedo rapist was arrested but id give the kebab guy a pass

[HooHaa]

"on the lam" - and one of the guys was selling kebabs, that's beautiful.

[worgeordie]

Bad boy,Bad boy, what ya gonna do when they come for you !

Do the Thai police get commissions for these and other arrests

as the seem to be getting quiet efficient in collaring wanted crims.

regards Worgeordie

[Fat Haggis]

I suppose that when the Police or Immigration Police also catch drug dealers and smugglers, they don't deserve some praise either?

Or when they catch Thais held captive on fishing boats for years either... come on man, the world doesn't revolve around Thaksin Shiniwatra, he will get his just rewards as and when Karma decides it.. no point in getting stressed about it till then, because my old man used to tell me "What's for you will not go by you" a mantra I've lived with for all of my life.

Sometimes Karma needs a little bit of help though

Nothing wrong with your post FH, except you will never see a redwood tree in Canada.

Most definitely California though (Sequoia). Perhaps a western red cedar chip eh?

yeah I was meaning the big massive ones, and was reading something about Canada ( yeah yeah poor excuse )

I don't believe that they receive commission as such, Interpol is not set up like the Feebees. However I am sure that it all helps to improve the reputation of the RTP in general which would encourage other police agencies to work with them and to share information and technological advances which might not currently be in their budget.

[kikoman]

Yes the high quality of Tourist/expats that come to Thailand, on the run from the law. Thank you BIB for arresting them and taking them off of the streets of Thailand!

Cheers

Sorry, but facts say otherwise. From Wiki Data: "Giant sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum), possibly the largest tree species in the world, are to be found in several locations around Victoria, BC."

The Interpol office at Pattaya got their small catch, I see. Given the number of heavier hitters around here they haven't accomplished all that much. Nice place to work, though.

[davejones23]

If both of these were on the Interpol wanted list, "how" did they manage to get into Thailand in the first place? Shouldn't they have been stopped at the airport/border crossing?

Maybe they didn't arrive by airport or border crossing. Maybe they weren't put on the interpol list until after they arrived. May also be other reasons. If you want to know how they got in, I suggest you ask them, because no-one here knows.

It's unlikely Thai immigration's computers are linked to Interpol, but if they have access to immigration's database, a simple cross reference will bring up the perps who have entered Thailand. Then it's just a matter of inserting a flag into the Thai database and they'll be caught in Thailand or exiting.
