Four Chinese men nabbed for running an online gambling service
Four Chinese men were arrested on Tuesday at a house they had rented in Chon Buri's Pattaya City for allegedly operating transnational online gambling and illegal lottery service, police said yesterday.
The four suspects, aged between 24 and 29, were presented at a press conference yesterday along with evidence including four computer notebooks, three portable data storage devices, five pages of alleged punters’ names, four pages of lottery bets and two pages of commission fee details.
The den has reportedly been operating a month now, with transactions worth more than Bt2 million per day. Investigators said the profit was regularly sent back to the gang’s bosses in China.
The men reportedly confessed to running the den in Thailand because the punishment here is less severe than in China.
