BANGKOK: Thai police have arrested a Japanese man suspected of running an international scam network, a senior officer said on Thursday, as authorities crack down on the illegal operations.
Tetsuya Yamaguchi was arrested at his rented condominium in central Bangkok last Friday, senior police inspector Thatchai Pitaneelaboot told reporters.
Officers detained the 46-year-old on a request from the Japanese police, who want him for fraud and other charges including involvement with organised crime.
"We found that Yamaguchi has links with call centre operations in Cambodia and Vietnam," Thatchai told reporters.
