Bangkok –
Thai immigration police yesterday, February 18th, announced the arrest of three South Korean suspects who were reportedly operating South Korean illegal financial services and online gambling websites in Bangkok.
The arrest was conducted following an arrest warrant issued on January 28th. Three foreigners, namely Dong Hyun, 29, Young Min, 30, and Hyun Seong, 29, were allegedly hired by their South Korean boss, who was only named as Mr. Lee, for 130,000 baht/month to operate the gambling websites and work as administrators to contact and answer customers based in South Korea.
The initial investigation revealed that the trio had been working remotely in Thailand’s territory for more than one year. The websites had reportedly generated about two to three million baht (70-90 million KRW) per day.
All of the arrested people were taken to immigration police for interrogation, along with computers and evidence seized at their office. They were initially charged for working in the Kingdom without legal permission.
