A Swedish national wanted on an Interpol red notice for allegedly running an online international drug trafficking platform has been arrested in Bang Lamung district of Chon Buri.
Immigration police took the 37-year-old Swedish suspect, identified only as “Toby’’, into custody at a luxury villa in Bang Lamung district of Chon Buri on Monday afternoon.
The arresting team was led by Pol Col Jiraphong Jujiradamrongchai, investigation chief of Immigration Division 3.
Pol Maj Gen Chairit Anurith, the division three commander, said Mr Toby posed a serious threat to society, wanted by Swedish authorities for major drug offences.
Toby is accused of being a global moderator of Archetyp, an illicit online drug trafficking platform that operated across Scandinavia and other parts of Europe. The platform facilitated illegal drug sales through encrypted private chat rooms, according to Pol Maj Gen Chairit.
