Thai immigration authorities have arrested a Swedish national in Phuket after identifying her as the subject of an INTERPOL Red Notice linked to an alleged transnational call-centre fraud scheme. The arrest followed an investigation by immigration officers into reports that the suspect was residing in the province.
According to authorities, the suspect was part of a group accused of impersonating representatives of financial institutions and persuading victims to transfer funds under false pretences. Investigators stated that the alleged scheme resulted in losses exceeding 60 million baht (approximately £1.3 million) before it was dismantled. Her immigration permission has since been revoked while authorities continue to coordinate with international partners.
