snoop1130 Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Alleged extortionist flown back from US to face charges Kritsada Mueanhawong PHUKET:-- An American man, who returned to the United States in 2013 after allegedly extorting a fellow countryman in Phuket, was flown back to Thailand, escorted by Royal Thai Police officers, this morning. “The suspect, named Shawn Abraham, was handed over to Royal Thai Police to face legal charges in Thailand as per an arrest warrant issued against him on February 13, 2015, which included charges of robbery, extortion, detainment, confinement and threatening another person,” said Lt Col Ason Jiraksa of Kamala Police. The original complaint was filed on December 14, 2013, by another American national named Antonio Mario Adoniro. Mr Abraham was accused of extorting 30,000 baht and attempting to extort a further US$2 million in cash and belongings.

slapout Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Too bad the bib do not spend the same effort to get the monk who laundered all the funds, had sex with chilren, bought a nice jet plane , etc. sent back from the usa. He is in plain sight on the west coast, but no one in Thailand seems to want him here to press charges or give statements . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nunoyabiznez Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 (edited) i can't think of anything worse than being extradited back to Thaliand face 'justice'. Except maybe just being thrown in the slam there in the first place... Edited December 2, 2016 by nunoyabiznez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Fairfield Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Florida man taken into custody in Bangkok for 2013 Phuket kidnapping charge Darawan Naknakhon PHUKET: A Florida man was taken into custody upon his arrival in Bangkok today (Dec 2) after being extradited from the US on charges issued in Phuket back in 2014 for the kidnapping of a fellow American in 2013. In February 2015, Shawn Abraham Shaw, 43, was fighting extradition to Thailand on kidnapping and extortion charges brought by another American said to have strong ties to senior Thai officials. Shaw, 43, denied the charges, saying the alleged victim laid a complaint with Thai authorities after the pair had a falling-out in Phuket over a business deal. Then one month later, in March 2015, Shaw maintained his innocence of the charges brought against him by Thai authorities. His defence lawyer says the charges were laid after a business deal went sour.

Stargeezr Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Just hope this guy spends some time in a Thai prison and gets to enjoy some quality rice meals until he is totally a Thin Tim. Maybe USA has a new Thai guy who was also sent to that country as a swap so they can also give him some USA justice, who knows? Geezer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Says it all if you can believe the press, but as we've seen, they get it so wrong, so often, yet still get paid every month. Unfortunately, we're all similar in that we believe the press when it fits with our preconceived ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
