Police to launch crackdown on foreign criminal gangs including Samui and Phuket Bandidos

[khaowong1]

Rumour has it that all foreign criminals arrested will be charged with taking an employment opportunity from a Thai national as such positions it appears are on the list stating that it is a restricted occupation and thus only Thai nationals are to be employed in such ventures.

Given CIB's stellar reputation for high professionalism and integrity, they should have these criminals taken care of very quickly. Evidently CIB is very familiar with organized crime and has lots of inner connections in these criminal organizations ... at least, that's what I've been reading lately.

I notice NO military elements will be involved. That would seem odd since under martial law all governmental agencies and Police fall under the Junta authority.

Lets the other percent of gangs, local ones which comprise 99% of it, to relax with the pre-announced crackdown. Hub of pre-announcements and crackdown on those not indigenous to the area.

Former Bandidos boss arrested after fleeing to Thailand

11th Feb 2015

Sunshine Coast Newspaper

A Brisbane bikie club's former president has been charged after returning from Thailand, almost 12 months after police raided properties in Brisbane, Logan and on the Gold Coast. The dawn raids in March last year led to the arrest of nine "patched members" of the Bandidos Criminal Motorcycle Gang.

Today, a 26-year-old has been charged with 10 counts of extortion, two charges for threatening violence, and one count each for stalking and assault causing bodily harm. Police allege members of the Bandidos West End chapter in Brisbane were extorting money and property from gyms.

He returned to Australia after "negotiations".
