Chonburi Immigration Police arrested an Austrian
fugitive hiding out in Pattaya to duck an arrest warrant back home for
Internet fraud.
Adam Ferdinand Reinhard, 48, was apprehended at his
Soi Kophai apartment Jan. 16. His visa was canceled and he was processed
for deportation.
Austrian law enforcement sought the assistance of
Thai authorities after Adam fled the country after being sentenced to
five years in prison for refusing to pay 7,000 euros in back child
support. He is also accused to scamming 10 victims out of a total 1,000
euros through fake product sales on the Internet.
