On September 21st, the Thai police announced the details of the recent police raid on the stronghold of a telecom fraud gang. It is reported that the gang involved has defrauded people of 2.2 million baht in Piji Province.
This time, the police arrested a total of six members, including the second-in-command of China's electronic fraud gang. The police also expanded their investigations into money laundering account networks in Bangkok, Nakhon Ratchasima, Mahasarakham and Rayong, and targeted other seven suspects.
It is understood that between August 10 and 20, Thai police arrested six suspects, including Tana Peng, in the vicinity of the police station.
The gang was involved in mule account opening, withdrawals and money laundering in Bangkok, Chiang Rai and Chiang Mai. The police seized more than 400,000 baht in cash, cars, mobile phones, passbooks and ATM cards this time.
The police then expanded the investigation into Tana Pen’s criminal network, eventually arresting seven suspects, including Chun Pongpa, who are suspected of telecom fraud and money laundering.
The investigation also found four other victims, with a cumulative loss of more than 10 million baht. Currently, the seven suspects above have been transferred to the Bangkok Police Department for further investigation and legal handling.
