BANGKOK – An Iranian businessman, who fled Chonburi to Bangkok, was arrested for defrauding a compatriot, causing 21 million baht in damages.
Immigration officers arrested Mr. Abul, a 61-year-old Iranian national, based on an arrest warrant issued by the Chonburi Provincial Court. He was apprehended at a condominium room on Rom Klao Road, Lat Krabang District, Bangkok.
Pol. Maj. Gen. Phantana Nutcharot, Deputy Commissioner of the Immigration Bureau, stated in a press conference that Mr. Abul is accused of filing a false report, causing a government official to record false information in a public or official document, and entering false information in company documents to deceive a partnership, company, partners, or shareholders, causing them to lose benefits they are entitled to.
In this case, the victim, who is also Iranian, filed a complaint with the investigating officer at Si Racha Police Station, Chonburi Province, stating that Mr. Abul had falsely amended the minutes of a meeting of a private company in the Yan Nawa area of Bangkok to grant himself the authority to sell the company’s land located in Si Racha District, Chonburi Province.
Mr. Abul’s actions caused the company and its partners to suffer damages amounting to over 21 million baht or about 573,400 USD, but he evaded responsibility by claiming he was unaware of the situation before fleeing.
Subsequently, the police investigated and gathered evidence to request an arrest warrant from the Chonburi Provincial Court for Mr. Abul. They discovered that he had fled to hide in a condominium room in Bangkok. He was then arrested and handed over to the investigating officers at Si Racha Police Station for legal proceedings.
