Three well known so called Farang business men are currently go through the court system in a variety of cases but of these are just the tip of the iceberg. There are many Thai companies operating as fronts for crooks scammers while many run bars. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webfact Posted June 25, 2014 Author Share Posted June 25, 2014 Feared Russian gang boss captured in ThailandBANGKOK, June 25, 2014 (AFP) - A Russian crime boss who led a gang blamed for the murder of around 60 people during the lawless period following the fall of the Soviet Union has been captured in Thailand, local authorities said Wednesday.Alexander Matusov, who arrived in Thailand in 2009, was paraded in front of the media, two days after he was detained by Thai police on Monday south of Bangkok.At the time of his arrest the burly 52-year-old was in possession of a false passport and had acquired a retirement visa, according to immigration officials.Russia slipped into chaos as its communist system collapsed at the start of the 1990s. Kidnappings and execution-style killings were rife as rival groups competed over business interests."The gang kidnapped businessmen and civil servants for ransom," according to a statement released by Thai immigration officials."The gang was involved in murdering more than 60 people in Moscow, Dagestan and Saint Petersburg," the statement said, adding that Matusov will sent back to Russia for trial.The gang operated from the mid-1990s until 2008, becoming the "most dangerous gang in Russia", Russian embassy vice-consul Alexey Falunin told AFP."Matusov was the leader of this group," Falunin said, adding he was the only gang member to escape the country while the rest of his group had been rounded up.Thailand's deputy national police chief, Wuthi Liptapallop, said the case had cast light on foreigners living in Thailand on retirement visas."We will probably have to check if they have committed any crimes in other countries," he added. -- (c) Copyright AFP 2014-06-25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
