Police arrested three Chinese men in Thailand for operating an illegal online casino with a turnover of more than 5.5 billion baht (≈161 million USD) and running a fraudulent call center.
The Chinese Embassy asked the Thai Foreign Ministry for help in arresting Su, a 47-year-old Chinese, who is suspected of fraud and running an underground online casino. The case was then referred to the Immigration Bureau.
Investigation revealed that Su, 46-year-old Jang, and 39-year-old Su Jiang came to Thailand using Vanuatu passports and lived together in a house in Chon Buri.
The suspects frequently relocated to avoid arrest. During the search, officers seized cell phones, laptops, and documents proving Vanuatu citizenship from the criminals.
Law enforcers found that Su and Jiang operated an online casino site based in Manila (Philippines) and the UAE. The resource had a turnover of more than 5.5 billion baht.
Su was also one of the heads of a scam call center headquartered in Dubai.
All suspects will be handed over to Chinese authorities for further legal proceedings and punishment.

This is not the first time Chinese men have been arrested in Thailand, previously three men were arrested in Bangkok for running a scam call center.
