Immigration Bureau 6, coordinated with Central Investigation Police, arrested a 35-year-old man at the Sadao checkpoint in Songkhla province on November 1, 2026. The suspect, identified only as 'J.C.', was wanted on an arrest warrant for fraud, money laundering, and involvement in a transnational criminal organization. He was apprehended while returning from Malaysia.
Pol. Lt. Gen. Suran Nuanma, Commissioner of the Immigration Bureau, ordered Pol. Maj. Gen. Naphasin Poolsawat, Deputy Commissioner, to implement urgent national police policies to prevent, suppress, and address online crime. Pol. Col. Sorathat Iamlaor, Chief of Songkhla Immigration, coordinated with the Crime Suppression Division to arrest the suspect.
The arrest followed a tip that the wanted individual planned to return to his hometown. Officers coordinated with relevant agencies to monitor the Sadao checkpoint until they spotted a person matching the suspect's description. After verifying his identity and confirming he had not been previously arrested on this warrant, officers presented the arrest warrant and informed him of the charges.
The charges include colluding to defraud the public by impersonation, conspiracy to commit money laundering, money laundering as a predicate offense, receiving stolen property, entering false computer data into a system likely to cause public damage, allowing others to use accounts for criminal acts, and participation in a transnational criminal organization.
After the arrest, officers informed the suspect of his rights and took him into custody at the Sadao checkpoint before transferring him to investigators at the Crime Suppression Division's Subdivision 4 for further legal proceedings.
The Immigration Bureau 6 spokesperson stated this operation resulted from inter-agency integration and the use of immigration information technology, enabling more efficient tracking of foreigners who violate Thai law. The public can report suspicious foreign nationals via the Immigration Bureau hotline 1178.
