With the assistance of Interpol

So Thailand conducted this investigation and tracked down the fugitive. Sure it wasn't the other way around, Interpol with the assistance of the BIB.

[shirtless]

At least he is out of the system, imagine buying property from this guy.

[hard124get]

innocent until proven guilty?

[Clutch]

Choices after embezzling US$1 Million and moving to Pattaya.

A) Open a realestate agency?

Lay low and enjoy?

No brain\er.

[ezzra]

Indeed, glory be that he got caught, one less Ruski fugitive from justice in

law abiding Pattaya...

[harrycallahan]

New sheriff in town; can you hear the knees knocking?

[bangkokheat]

i loathe thieves, throw him to the sharks

[larsjohnsson]

innocent until proven guilty?

Yes sure he is innocent He only came her on a fake passport, fake name, fake citizenship. And have been here illegal since 2012

[hobobo]

Throw the book at him. After he serves his time here, deport him to Russia...

[Tanlic]

innocent until proven guilty?

Yes sure he is innocent He only came her on a fake passport, fake name, fake citizenship. And have been here illegal since 2012

He will be told in no uncertain manner never to come back to Thailand..........unless you steal another $1m then we'll see what we can do

hard124...please get real

[Larry001]

Good riddance

[catweazle]

What a moron! Putting himself on a silver plate with a real estate company... As a single guy with 30m THB in the pocket I'd buy a small condo and a Fino in Bkk with 12m+ people and have happy end massages, MTV, SFX cinema, Heineken and pizza until I die

[catweazle]

Throw the book at him. After he serves his time here, deport him to Russia...

...and you are? ...

[catweazle]

...and no fingerpointing what a disappointing thread

[JoePai]

But apart from that ................................

[mok199]

the proof is in the ''Putin''...

[Jasun]

innocent until proven guilty?

He wasn't arrested for the theft, it was for being a fugitive. It would be hard proving he is not in Thailand right now.

[Asiantravel]

At least he is out of the system, imagine buying property from this guy.

Imagine having paid a whopping deposit to this guy and thinking it is in safe hands

[CraigSchuler]

Why with 1 million dollars would anybody open a business and risk being exposed? you could live like a king in Issan for the rest of your life.

Probably better the law found him before the Ruskie he stole from did, might not of ended so well!

[belg]

so since 2012, not the police, nor immigration knew about this person ? he does not do 90 day reports or business visa requirements?

and how did he get this $1 million dollars to thailand ?

no questions asked, right ?

He had the glory, but seems lacking in power. Yeah, how did he get all that $$ in? Must have had some blind eyes to pay off one would think. Put him in the glory hole.

[oldsailor35]

Apart from a fake passport, what else is there to "Throw the book at him " for.

He was a fugitive that stole 1 million dollar. Overstay and working illegal of course

I am imagining that if his primary customer were other Russians bigger problems await him now.

It most definitely would have been the other way around. Interpol would have found him and then the BIB arrested him, this is the usual method.. Interpol cannot just go arresting people wherever they are, they need the cooperation of local plod.

The guy clearly came into Thailand when the mega corrupt Thaksin family were omnipotent.

He pays tea money to the right people ( a large portion to the Thaksin family of course ) and a regular stipend to the immigration police in Thailand and he thought he was bullet proof.

Thankfully we have a proper government in place now who we are seeing sweeping out and cleaning the mess left behind by the Thaksin endorsed money hungry harpies.

Continued good riddance to bad rubbish and another thumbs up to the NCPO...well done chaps
