Two Singaporeans arrested in Thailand during crackdown on vice syndicate

  • On June 17, authorities in Thailand detained three individuals—a pair of men from Singapore and one from Thailand—on suspicion of running an international crime network linked to human trafficking and prostitution.
  • Investigations into the syndicate began in 2023 following reports of vice workers being managed and trafficked between Singapore and Thailand.
  • The suspects were captured at several sites, including Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok and a residence in Muang, Udon Thani. During the arrests, authorities confiscated 55 items with an estimated total value of approximately 20 million baht.
  • Over S$1.26 million linked to the 38-year-old Singaporean suspect was frozen by authorities, with officials highlighting close cross-border collaboration as key to dismantling the criminal network.
  • Authorities continue investigations and legal proceedings against the suspects as regional agencies pledge sustained cooperation to combat transnational syndicated crimes.
