SUVARNABHUMI — Thai immigration police have arrested a Singaporean man at Suvarnabhumi Airport on charges related to human trafficking and money laundering as part of an intensified crackdown on wanted individuals.
Immigration police apprehended Mr. Dexter, a Singaporean national, upon his arrival on Singapore Airlines flight SQ 714 from Singapore on June 18. The arrest was coordinated after authorities received intelligence that a foreign national wanted on prostitution and money laundering charges would be entering Thailand through the airport.
The suspect faces multiple serious charges including:
- Conspiracy to procure, entice, or transport persons for immoral purposes
- Promoting and facilitating prostitution while receiving various forms of benefits
- Advertising or soliciting prostitution through documents and public media
- Conspiracy to commit money laundering with actual criminal acts
Preliminary investigations indicate the suspect was involved in transnational human trafficking operations, specifically recruiting young women for prostitution and systematically transferring financial proceeds for money laundering purposes.
Immigration authorities have transferred the suspect to the Technology Crime Suppression Division’s 3rd Operations Control Division for legal proceedings and to expand investigations into related networks. The Central Investigation Bureau will provide further details in upcoming press briefings.
Immigration Bureau leadership emphasized that preventing and suppressing human trafficking and transnational crime remains a top priority, with full coordination planned among all relevant agencies for comprehensive enforcement action.
