According to BlockBeats news on November 2, as reported by Hongxing News, the Thai police recently cracked a case of extortion against Chinese citizens disguised as law enforcement, involving 12 suspects, including internal personnel of the Thai police and assisting Chinese translators. It is understood that the case occurred at the home of Mr. Sai, a Chinese man from Vanuatu. At that time, Mr. Sai, his family, several Chinese friends, and a maid were present.
Mr. Sai reported that in mid-October, six uniformed Thai police officers and a civilian disguised as law enforcement personnel barged into Mr. Sai's residence in Nakhon Pathom, Thailand, claiming to conduct a court-authorized search with a so-called search warrant. During the search, the suspects alleged that Mr. Sai was involved in a passport forgery case and threatened him with legal consequences if he did not pay a large sum of money.
In addition, the suspects demanded that Mr. Sai pay 300 million Thai Baht or 10 million USDT to 'settle the matter privately.' 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 that afternoon. On October 17, the gang members contacted Mr. Sai again, demanding 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 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.
