Phuket –
A wanted Russian suspect was arrested at the Phuket International Airport after he was being accused of fraud.
The Phuket Airport Immigration told the Phuket Express that earlier this week they apprehended a 25-year-old Russian male suspect.
He was wanted under a Surat Thani Provincial Court arrest warrant for charges including public fraud, importing fake computer data likely to harm others or the public, and opening or allowing others to use their bank account or electronic card account without intent for personal use, knowing or should have known it would be used for cyber-related crimes.
The arrest took place at the international arrivals terminal in the airport. The suspect was handed over to investigators from the Kanchanadit Police Station in Surat Thani for further legal proceedings. However, he did not release any statement as of press time.
