Red Rene slips by Pattaya Police again

Renee Larsen, Danish drug dealer, was arrested 3 years ago and deported to the Danish authority, where he received a 7 year jail sentence. He spent a short time in Danish prison before escaping to Pattaya (reported in Pattaya Mail, April 12, 1996). After a one and a half year stay in Pattaya, Rene was again arrested by Thai Police acting on a request from the Danish Police. Rene had been living in Thailand with a fake British passport as Anthony Allen.

Rene was arrested by the Pattaya Tourist Police on April 7, 1996, on the charge of having fake document (passport). Rene was sent to the C.S.D.(Crime Suppression Division) in Bangkok the same day.
He was sentenced by the Chonburi court, and stayed in prison in Chonburi for approx. 3 months. He was then sent to the Pattaya Police Station where he stayed while awaiting to be deported back to Denmark.
On the 2nd of Oct. 96, Rene was sent to Pattaya Memorial Hospital because he was sick. But he showed up in Copenhagen, Denmark on morning of the 4th of Oct. 96. He could not enter Denmark from the airport because he had no passport with him, so he made a call to Willy R. Eliasen, the Detective Chief Superintendent of Glostrup Police, pleading with him to come and fetch him, as he wished to turn himself in.
Pattaya Mail made a phone call to Eliasen in Denmark to inquire about Rene’s escape. Eliasen informed our reporter that Rene had told him, “I was sick and was sent to the hospital, which I could escape from without any problem”. Regarding taking the flight back home without a passport, he said, “I have a friend at the airport, which was the way to get through immigration and all the security. Then I bought myself a boarding card to the plane, and here I am”.
Pol.Lt.Col.Piya Suraprasert, Chief of Pattaya Police, said that he could not understand how Rene was able to escape from the hospital. He said that Rene’s passport was kept with the officer in charge of the case, Pol.Capt. Prasan Fukfon. He also said that it was incomprehensible to him how Rene was able to fly back home, that probably he had another fake passport.
Pattaya Mail also made an inquiry to the Thai Interpol Office in Bangkok, and was connected with the inspector in charge of deporting Rene, Pol. Maj. Aaphaphan Cholsuek. She explained that she did not know anything about the escape of Rene. She said that she had actually contacted Pol. Capt. Prasan and told him that the time had come to deport Rene, and had received a message from him, dated 2nd Oct. 96, saying that Rene could not travel because he was in the hospital. She was also informed that Rene’s extradition was still waiting for permission from the Chonburi prosecutor, as the case of Rene, here, was not yet done with.
These questions remain: How did Rene manage to leave the hospital when he was supposed to be under constant guard by the police? How did Rene manage to travel from Pattaya to Bangkok if he was so sick? How was Rene able to walk through security in Don Muang Airport, where even the passengers’ bags can’t board a jet without going through the x-ray machine? How could Rene board the plane without proper documents?
What has happened with the control system in Thailand? There have been rumors going on in town, saying that it cost Rene over 1 million Baht for his escape. Who received the money? This was obviously not a one man job. Who else was involved?
Who should take responsibility? Pattaya Police officer, Capt. Prasan? Immigration at Don Muang? Don Muang’s security staff? And finally, what about the plane that allowed Rene to travel, which Rene said was the SAS (Scandinavian Airlines System). Is it not embarrassing for the Thai Police Force to allow this incident to take place?
This is a good example of what Thailand needs to improve on in order to develop this country into a better place for its citizens. From Denmark to Thailand or from Thailand to Denmark, its the same story, by the same gangster. These questions are to you sir, Pol. Gen. Pote Bunyajinda.
