According to BlockBeats news on November 2, as reported by Red Star News, the Thai police recently cracked a case of extortion of Chinese nationals by false law enforcement, involving 12 suspects, including personnel from the Thai police and assisting Chinese translators. It is understood that the incident occurred at the home of Mr. Sai, a Chinese man from Vanuatu. At that time, Mr. Sai, his family, several Chinese friends, and household staff were present.
Mr. Sai reported that in mid-October, 6 uniformed Thai police officers and a civilian disguised themselves as law enforcement personnel, barging into Mr. Sai's residence in Nakhon Pathom, Thailand, claiming to carry out a court-authorized search with a so-called search warrant. During the search, the suspects claimed that Mr. Sai was involved in a passport forgery case and threatened him with legal repercussions if he did not pay a large sum of money.
In addition, the suspect also demanded Mr. Sai pay 300 million Thai Baht or 10 million USDT for a 'settlement'. After multiple negotiations, Mr. Sai agreed to transfer 5.6 million Thai Baht (approximately 1.17 million RMB) and made two digital currency transfers to the digital wallet of the gang members involved that afternoon. On October 17, the gang members contacted Mr. Sai again, requesting him to pay an additional 700,000 Thai Baht. After Mr. Sai reported the case, the Thai police immediately launched an investigation, confirming that there were a total of 12 suspects involved, including 9 police officers, 1 civilian, and 2 translators. Currently, 7 of the suspects have been arrested, including 6 police officers, while 3 internet police turned themselves in, and the remaining 2 Chinese translators are still being pursued.
