Thai police are accelerating their crackdown on a transnational telecommunication fraud syndicate led by "Fu Guoan". On July 23, the Technology Crime Suppression Division announced that the case had been transferred to the Anti-Money Laundering Office to initiate asset freezing and fund recovery, and stated that this case will serve as a "model" for combating overseas telecom fraud.
Currently, the Thai court has issued 7 arrest warrants, with the main suspect "Fu Guoan" and his three Cambodian relatives, two Thai suspects, and one Cambodian administrator still at large. The police are cooperating with Interpol and plan to apply for a red notice to accelerate the global manhunt.
The Technology Crime Suppression Division revealed that the police will inspect over 50 buildings in neighboring countries such as Cambodia, suspected of being used for fraudulent purposes. These locations are used as command centers and operational bases for the fraud syndicate. If the allegations are confirmed, they will face mandatory rectification or even closure.
The investigation also found that some gang members are suspected of illegally obtaining Thai identity cards. Relevant personnel from the Ministry of Interior system and local officials have been summoned for questioning, and whether internal corruption is involved is still under investigation. The police have not ruled out the possibility of foreign dignitaries or high-level protection being behind the case.
The Thai authorities have stated that they will continue to expand the investigation efforts, vowing to completely destroy the fraud network and cut off its expansion chain in Southeast Asia.
