Five Indian nationals have been arrested for allegedly working as administrators for an online gambling network during a raid on a condominium in Pattaya.
Immigration police searched a room in the condominium on Soi Thep Prasit 17 in Nong Prue on Wednesday, after receiving information that a group of Indian nationals were staying and working there.
The officers found five men working on laptop computers inside the room.
The officers seized three laptops, 22 mobile phones, a tablet, credit cards and notebooks containing records of money transfers amounting to several million rupees, or about 2 million baht. The transactions were believed to be linked to online gambling sites.
The five men, aged 24 to 39, were held for questioning. All denied any involvement in illegal activities but police say they gave confusing statements.
They reportedly admitted to acting as administrators responding to customers but refused to say what services they provided, police said.
