Police bust gang of con-artists

Police bust gang of con-artists

A group of con-artists, including a Thai woman, were arrested on Monday (August 31) for allegedly running an illegal medical equipment company and defrauding a German man of Bt57 million.

Cameroon national Ferdinand Ayuk Agbor, 34; Ivory Coast national Souhadou Traore, 35; and Thai national Thanwarot Worasan, 24, were charged with fraud and money laundering.
They had allegedly sold rubber gloves to a German buyer in the United Arab Emirates, who had paid them Bt57 million but did not receive the products.
Thanwarot was found to have connections with Mepony Toure, 28, who allegedly runs an illegal firm from another country and is wanted by the Interpol.
Thai police are looking to see if this group is linked to a similar case in which the victim was an Israeli national.
