An 37 year-old Egyptian man has been arrested for mafia ties and running a protection racket in Bangkok. Police said the man is an alleged drug dealer and had alleged ties to a foreign mafia gang in Bangkok.
An investigation revealed the man is connected to the sale of Narcotics and is tied to a mafia gang. The gang collected money from foreigners in exchange for alleged protection. The group claimed they could provide safety to foreigners against people the police couldn’t catch or and or those under their protection.
Foreigners payed monthly and those who refused faced threats and some were even harmed by the foreign gang.
The mafia gang would also visit entertainment venues in Bangkok with the goal to sell drugs to foreigners. Police checked Mohamed’s visa history and discovered he had overstayed in Thailand for 1,772 days.
The suspect admitted that he had previously been in legal trouble for selling crystal meth in 2017. He has since been arrested and is waiting for prosecution.
