webfact Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Rogue Russian nabbed for massive property fraudEakkapop ThongtubAntochili with his captors.PHUKET: -- Immigration police in Bangkok yesterday (June 29) arrested a Russian national suspected of cheating investors out of more than B20 million in Phuket property deals more than two years ago.Acting on a warrant issued by Phuket Provincial Court in September, 2011, police arrested Vladimir Antochili, 29, at an apartment on Soi Ramkhamhaeng in the Hua Mak area of Bangkok at 2.30pm.Antochili, a resident of Sweden, is accused of being part of a gang of Russians who misappropriated funds intended for property purchases in Phuket after setting up a supposed real estate agency targeting wealthy Russian investors.The hunt for Antochili and his accomplices was launched after the owner of a property for sale in Chalong reported to police that a buyer had paid money to the gang, but he, the seller, had received nothing.Investigations revealed that the gang had received three payments of around B3 million each, as well as commission from the seller, together totalling some B10.5 million.The gang members are also accused of fraud in another, similar, property deal worth Bt12 million.After his arrest, Antochili was sent under escort to Phuket, where he is now in custody at Chalong Police Station. The other gang members reportedly left Thailand some time ago.Source: http://www.thephuketnews.com/rogue-russian-nabbed-for-massive-property-fraud-47123.php-- Phuket News 2014-06-30 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duanebigsby Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 "Antochili" uhm... He's not Russian, it sounds like a Chilean name. In this day and age it is virtually impossible to go by a person's name to determine nationality. Many TV'ers have wrongly thought I'm Welsh (then accused me of not speaking native English), simply by my name. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bander Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 <script type='text/javascript'>window.mod_pagespeed_start = Number(new Date());</script> Why no pointing??? I miss the pointing too, why did they stop pointing, best entertainment ever to see a bunch of BIB's pointing at the perpetrator. BIB: "here he is, we caught him, aren't we clever?" :-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaysisaket Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Antochili is a Georgian last name. But his first name indicates where he was probably born and raised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LKA Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Surname sounds like Georgian. Russian name but Swedish resident. So let's say he is Swedish. Same that Yugoslavian soccer player which is Swedish resident for a long time and nobody says he is Yugoslavian coz of he's a good boy. That's just funny guys...

garyinhuahin Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 And why is he referred to as 'rogue' Russian? As if there are no other Russian criminals in the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamienG Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 It does not matter what country he is from, the important thing is that this scumbag has been caught and hopefully the others will be caught very soon. I can't believe it has taken 3 years to catch him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emster23 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 ".and yet another reason to dislike russians" Isn't it nice when we find support for our prejuices? You are painting with too broad a brush, my dear xenophobic friend. I taught at black high school (I am white). I told them "Don't hate me because I'm white: that is too lazy. Take the time to find something about me personally to hate." Mod that a bit for Russians. That said, any investigation into just who gave him protection for last two years or so? Shouldn't those who looked other way face some music too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now this is only a theory of mine, but recently Thailand have started getting stricter on 'certain' visa's, well Russia was recently a member of the G8, until they were kicked out over the Crimea crisis in Ukraine, so now all citizen's of members of the G7 countries (UK, USA, Canada, France, Italy, Germany & Japan) are having no problems regarding Visa's, but now Russian citizens are, hmmm food for thought, I'm just wondering if Thailand is using the fact that because Russia was kicked out of the G8 it gives them 'an excuse' to give Russians a hard time, or better still sending them home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
