Thai Police Corruption Case: Officers Extort Millions from Chinese Resident
In mid-October, six Thai police reportedly broke into a Chinese citizen’s house, Mr. Sai, on the grounds of investigating passport forgery. They threatened to settle the case with 10 million #USDT , having taken phones and computers in an attempt to pressure him. Mr. Sai partially gave in and made the transfers. Later, he went to report the case to higher authorities. Such a case brought 12 arrests, of which 9 were police officers.
This high-profile case has brought to light corruption issues within Thailand’s law enforcement. Mr. Sai took action against intimidation and threats; the case was a bit more than a slip-up but part of deep-seated behavior misconduct. During the investigation, it was learned that the police officers, together with civilian accomplices, fabricated legal claims to extort money from Mr. Sai. Now, Thai police promise to prosecute those responsible for the scheme, according to qq.com.
