Chinese suspect in $75M international crime network arrested in Bangkok

Summary

Thai police arrested a 37-year-old Chinese man wanted in China over alleged involvement in an international criminal network and money laundering. Investigators said the network handled more than 500 million yuan ($75 million), and alleged the suspect arranged cryptocurrency and foreign-currency exchanges through more than 133 accounts for criminal groups. He was also accused of helping group members obtain visas and using forged documents and altered vehicle plates to evade arrest. After proceedings over his expired Thai visa, authorities plan to coordinate his return to China to face the outstanding warrant.
