Recently, Thai police cracked a major case involving bank staff colluding with an overseas fraud group!
Colonel Thirachai, an investigator from the Second Police District, led a raid on a branch of a bank in Chonburi Province, arresting the manager and three employees suspected of assisting a Chinese fraud gang in opening illegal accounts.
Case details exposed:
During the investigation of a telecommunications fraud case, the police discovered several Chinese nationals entering the country on tourist visas using the accounts of this branch
Upon verification, these accounts were linked to a telecom fraud gang arrested in Bangkok
The involved staff abused their positions to illegally open over 100 accounts for the fraud group
Latest developments:
Four bank employees have been formally arrested
The Inspector General of the Thai Police Department, Tachai, will personally preside over the case briefing
The police emphasized the strengthening of financial regulation to cut off the funding chain of the fraud group
This incident has once again exposed loopholes in the internal regulation of financial institutions. As the joint efforts to combat telecom fraud between China and Thailand intensify, Thai police have established a cross-provincial collaboration mechanism, focusing on investigating telecom fraud cases involving Chinese nationals.
