StanChart robbery: Singapore requests for suspect to be repatriated from Thailand

SINGAPORE: Authorities in Singapore have written to the Thai authorities to repatriate the man suspected of robbing a Standard Chartered branch here, the Singapore Police Force said on Tuesday (Jul 19).

In addition, Singapore has made a “mutual legal assistance request” to the Thai authorities to forward the evidence seized from the suspect, the police said.

“If the Thai authorities are unable to return the suspect directly to Singapore we will pursue the suspect’s return from whichever country Thailand eventually decides to send the suspect to,” SPF added.

to forward the evidence seized from the suspect

they could negotiate an exchange. I guess there are some people in Singapore who are wanted in Thailand for some legal procedures

The Red Bull heir maybe?

Evidence,............as in recovered cash ?...............I am sure it was spent by the time they found him.

repatriate the man

If he was charged with a crime they would request extradition. Apparently though they have no case for arrest such as evidence so all they can request is to have the person deported?
