[Jiggo]

That guy looks like he is about to give them a song...

[CapeThai]

He will most likely be allowed to use the boy's room without supervision and escape...

Seems like a few high fliers and others has escaped this way in the past ? + ? = ?

Just a thought as he does not look very worried at all but rather quite bored with the whole life show......??

puny guy. Even Yakuza ain't what it used to be...

Don't need muscle when you have brains.

Yes, but clearly, he has neither.

Japans top mafia suspect arrested in Pattaya

PATTAYA: -- A top member of Japans second largest Yakuza crime syndicate, who allegedly deceived more than 22 million baht from Japanese elderly people in Japan, has been arrested in Pattaya after having escaped into Thailand.

Shinichi Nagata, 32, was arrested at his residence in central Pattaya on the evening of February 28 after the Japanese embassy have contacted Thai police on February 5 to locate and arrest Shinichi on charges of fraud.

Thai police said Shinichi defrauded more than 85 million yen (approximately 22 million baht) from elderly Japanese people between 7 April 31 July 2014 by fooling them into buying non-existent bonds.

He said 21 of Shinichis accomplices had been arrested by Japanese police in November 2014, the same month that Shinichai fled to Thailand.

Pol Gen Jakthip Chaijinda, deputy commander of the Royal Thai Police said Shinichi entered Thailand on 15 November 2014 and has been hiding in Central Pattaya, Chonburi.

Meropolitan 191 police found him with expired visa.

He was allowed to stay in Thailand until 13 January 2015, the officer said.

He said Japanese police described Shinichi as a high-ranking member of an organized crime network in Japan, called the Sumiyoshi Kai.

He said Shinichi, who refused to give testimony to police, will be handed over to Japanese authorities in 10 days.
