Following a authorities raid on a rented home in Bangkok, a Chinese person who is alleged to be a leader of call-center scam groups in Cambodia and Vietnam has been detained for a series of offences in Japan.
According to Royal Thai Police inspector general Pol Gen Thatchai Pitaneelaboot, the suspect, who has only been identified as Yamakushi, was wanted on arrest permits issued in his home country for real rape, robbery, and violations of organized crime control laws.
At the request of Japanese authorities, the Immigration Bureau ( IB ) revoked his visa on March 13 and set to find him. In the future, IB officials discovered Mr. Yamakushi walking close to a casing house where he resided.
At a press event on Thursday, Pol Gen Thatchai claimed that they informed him that his card had been revoked and that he was eventually taken to the agency’s Immigration Division 3 for questioning. Attendees included Naoto Watanabe, a police officer with the Thai consulate in Japan.
According to the research, Mr. Yamakushi was the former head of a Japanese yakuza gang and the leader of Vietnamese and Cambodian call-center scam gangs that targeted Asian victims.
According to access information, he generally entered Thailand and rented a home for 180, 000 baht per month in the capital’s Sathon area.
According to an in-depth investigation, the suspect founded Next Samurai Japan Co. next year. Police believe the business may have been used to launder money because of the higher prices with which it purchased and sold artwork.
Four other Chinese nationals were staying in the rented home when four different people looked it up. According to researchers, all of them had domestic legal records.
The four reportedly shared ties to Next Samurai Japan Co., according to authorities. In modern pockets, they had property worth more than 30 million ringgit. According to Pol Gen Thatchai, the research was going on.  ,
