A South Korean man wanted under an Interpol Red Notice for allegedly supplying mule accounts to a call-centre gang has been arrested in Bangkok.
Immigration Bureau officers arrested Jimin, 28, on Saturday after coordinating intelligence with South Korean police and Interpol.
Investigators allege he was part of a transnational crime network that provided and distributed bank accounts used to defraud victims through investment scams.
The suspect used Telegram and fake online shopping websites to lure victims into transferring money, causing losses of more than 4.2 billion won (about 97 million baht), they said.
Police also found alleged money laundering transactions worth over 403 million won, bringing the total amount involved to more than 5 billion won.
He was charged with overstaying his permission to remain in Thailand by 218 days and will face further legal proceedings and deportation.
