The Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau (CCIB) has arrested three additional suspects linked to a Chinese scam syndicate accused of tricking a 19-year-old university student into emptying his mother's safe before laundering the stolen assets through cryptocurrency.
CCIB commissioner Pol Lt Gen Surapol Prembutr said the arrests bring the number of key suspects detained in the case to four.
The three suspects -- Zheng Likul, Suda and Houxi Zhou -- were allegedly involved in converting stolen cash into digital assets and transferring the proceeds to other members of the network. Zhou allegedly transferred US$218,350, worth more than 7.2 million baht.
