Don Mueang immigration checkpoint superintendent Adisak Panya said authorities had received intelligence regarding the arrival of a suspect wanted under an arrest warrant in connection with a well-known gambling website.

He said the suspect, arriving from Kuala Lumpur, was arrested at the international arrivals hall.

“The suspect was wanted under a warrant issued by the Nonthaburi Provincial Court on charges related to an online gambling network and money laundering.

“The suspect will be investigated for conspiring to operate online gambling without permission, conspiring with two or more individuals to commit the offence of money laundering, and committing money laundering as a result of such conspiracy and joint action,” Bernama quoted him as saying.

Adisak said the suspect was also the owner of a company allegedly used as a channel to circulate funds from the gambling website, with annual transactions reportedly exceeding 11.52 billion baht (RM1.5 billion).
