Two Russians nabbed by Thai police for smuggling and fraud

BANGKOK: Two Russian men wanted for crimes in their home country have been arrested by police in Thailand.

Immigration chief, Pol Lt Gen Natathorn Prousoontorn yesterday announced Thai police, who were responding to an international arrest warrant issued by the Russian authorities via Interpol, arrested Edward Malkov, 44, at an address in Pattaya.

Malkov had previously been sentenced to three years in prison for smuggling chemicals into his native Russia that are used in the production of steroids.

However, after appealing the decision and being granted bail, Malkov fled Russia for Thailand.

Pol Lt Gen Natathorn also announced that another Russian, Yukin Evgeny, 39, was also arrested in Pattaya after an international arrest warrant was issued by Russian police and Interpol.

It is alleged that Evgeny embezzled more than 2.5 million Baht from a company in Russia.

Both men will now be deported back to their homeland.

The arrests of the two Russian men, along with the arrest of a convicted Australian pedophile in Udon Thani, were the result of ongoing investigations between the Royal Thai Police, the Immigration Bureau and Interpol, Pol Lt Gen Natathorn revealed.

An agreement is due to be signed by Interpol and the Thai authorities that will allow police in the kingdom to access Interpol’s international arrest warrants database.

"An agreement is due to be signed by Interpol and the Thai authorities that will allow police in the kingdom to access Interpol’s international arrest warrants database."

Hard to fathom why this has not always been available.

Maybe it has, but the RTP struggle to read it cos its in English or some other "farang" language

Two Russians nabbed police for smuggling and fraud?! It's a small step but going in the right direction!!

Not really, when you take into consideration a few thousand baht will have any arrest warrant ignored anyway

An agreement by whom? I didn't agree to it and no one else I know either....take notice how they always show examples of an incident and then follow-up with what they intend to do. Action-reaction-solution. You criminals will have to answer to this one way or another....

How pleasant it is to be drowning in an Orwellian type of world....

There are many more comments on tv.com about finger pointing than there are photos of finger pointing. Give it a rest.

They're not so bad now, are they? Now they're just two losers on their way to prison.

So they need your permission to sign the agreement do they? I genuflect.

What is Orwellian about this? Can you explain that remark?

These guys are on steroids look at their bulk. I would not point my finger at them either. Love the sunglasses really adds a degree of mystique.

[JRThailand]

It is WAY PAST time to make Russians have passports AND visas to get into Thailand !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[FredNL]

I wonder if there is a bounty on people listed at Interpol as the RTP is hunting them down ???

I also wonder if they have Thaksin listed ?

"....the gentlemen in the photo...."

Gentle men?

[lostmebike]

How many more scumbags like this though are strolling around scot-free in the LOS? Many I reckon.

[soalbundy]

Just two nice lads who wandered a little from the straight and narrow. The sun glasses give them a sort of dignity which would otherwise be missing.

[timendres]

Hold it!!! Is that my photo on the board behind them?!....
