Two Russians wanted back home on money-laundering
charges are awaiting deportation after being captured while hiding out
in Pattaya.
Immigration Police announced the arrests of Valery
Bovsun, 38, and Andrey Ustinov, 40, July 20. Both were charged in a $25
million money-laundering scheme between 2006 and 2009 in Russia but
managed to flee the country.
Russian and Thai police tracked the pair to Pattaya
where Bovsun was living with his Russian wife. He was apprehended while
walking outside Boon Kajanaram Temple.
Ustinov, meanwhile, was running a bar and living
alone in the Pattaya area. Records show he entered the kingdom in
September 2009.
