BANGKOK: Thai police have arrested a local man wanted in connection with allegedly trafficking Rohingya nationals to Malaysia.
Bangkok Post reported that the 54-year-old man from Songkhla province was arrested yesterday in a town south of Bangkok after seven years on the run.
Provincial police commander Napanwut Liamsa-nguan said the man was one of 59 people wanted for trafficking 97 Rohingya in Hua Sai district in Nakhon Si Thammarat in January 2015.
He said a court had approved an arrest warrant in May 2015 to apprehend the man, who had been allegedly supplying Rohingya from Myanmar and Bangladesh to work in Malaysia.
“The suspect received 50,000 baht (RM6,274) per migrant,” Napanwut said.
The man has been sent to Hua Sai police station in Nakhon Si Thammarat for prosecution. - FMT
