Swedish woman wanted by Interpol arrested in Thailand over multimillion-kronor fraud case

A Swedish woman who has been wanted internationally has been arrested in Phuket, Thailand, reports the Thai Examiner.

The woman is suspected of involvement in a multimillion-kronor fraud linked to a call centre with more than 14 accomplices. The gang is suspected of having defrauded the equivalent of around 17 million kronor, or 60 million Thai baht.

The arrest reportedly came after police had been investigating the call centre since early 2022. The investigation continued until Swedish authorities uncovered the network, according to the Thai Examiner. The woman, who was wanted by Interpol, is now to be deported to Sweden.

TT is seeking comment from the Foreign Ministry's press service.
