Alleged Japanese gang member arrested In Pattaya
A 34-YEAR-OLD man alleged to be a member of Japan's second-largest Yakuza gang was arrested at a Pattaya condominium in Bang Lamung in Chon Buri on Saturday, police announced at a press conference Monday.
Patrol and Special Operation Division chief Pol Maj Gen Panurat Lakboon said the arrest of Shin-iji Nakata followed a request from the Japanese Embassy last week for deputy national police chief Jakthip Chaijinda to locate Nakata.
His gang reportedly duped people via phone calls into purchasing bonds from April to July last year, causing 85 million yen (about Bt22 million) in damages.
