Thai immigration authorities have arrested a South Korean national identified as Lim, who was reportedly the subject of an INTERPOL Red Notice and a South Korean arrest warrant linked to a large-scale investment fraud scheme. The suspect was detained in Nonthaburi province following an investigation conducted in cooperation with South Korean authorities.
According to investigators, Lim was a senior figure in the “Lucky Nine” investment network, which allegedly defrauded more than 100 victims of over KRW 10 billion (approximately THB 250 million). Authorities allege that investors were recruited through promises of returns linked to a casino business, while funds were instead used for online gambling activities and payments to earlier investors.
Thai authorities stated that Lim had overstayed his visa and had moved between locations in Phuket before being located at a condominium in Nonthaburi. Following his arrest, officers seized electronic devices and financial instruments for further investigation. He is expected to face legal proceedings in Thailand before any deportation process to South Korea.
