Organized crime boss from Korea arrested after more than 8 years in Thailand

In Thailand, a Korean mafia figure, who had been in the country without a visa for more than 8 years, has been arrested. According to local media reports, the arrest took place on Phuket, where law enforcement agencies are jointly investigating an organized crime case with other services.

Reports from Thailand state that the Korean citizen was in the country illegally for over eight years. Currently, he is detained and accused of involvement in organized crime.

The Phuket Police announced the arrest through their official channels, noting that officers from the 6th Bureau are conducting the investigation alongside other law enforcement agencies. At present, specific criminal charges and further actions by law enforcement authorities have not been disclosed.

This event has become a topic of discussion in the local community, particularly among Russian tourists and investors. In recent years, the number of Russian-speaking visitors to Thailand continues to grow, leading to increased interest in real estate on Phuket.

Further steps in the investigation will depend on the results of the inquiry and court proceedings. At present, the police continue their work to gather evidence and interview witnesses.
