Bangkok: The Central Investigation Bureau has apprehended a 35-year-old Thai woman named Ms. Nittharat in connection with a large-scale fraud case involving a Malaysian criminal gang. The arrest took place at Don Mueang Airport following an extensive investigation into fraudulent activities linked to Thai and foreign stock investments via a counterfeit online platform. This scheme has resulted in over 100 victims and financial damages exceeding 800 million baht.
According to Thai News Agency, the fraud operation involved both Malaysian and Thai individuals, with Ms. Nittharat being a key suspect. She allegedly managed bank and digital asset accounts that were used to funnel money from victims before transferring it to other assets and eventually to Malaysian accomplices. The coordinated effort between Malaysian police and the Central Investigation Bureau led to Ms. Nittharat's surrender. Although she denies the charges, she admits to opening the account purportedly for her husband's use. Authorities have taken her into custody for further legal proceedings.
