Nov. 22, 2006
Bangkok police in Thailand arrested 11 people, including two foreigners, for operating an online casino over the Internet from a building right opposite the Crime Suppression Division (CSD) headquarters.
The group opened their office, HK & T (TV and Film) Production, on the Rasa Tower II Building’s 12th floor in Soi Phaholyothin 19 – just 40 metres from the CSD head office.
About 50 Thailand police officers yesterday raided the place at 10.30am and arrested a 29-year-old Hong Kong man Than Yiu Hung, a 33-year-old Malaysian male Ang Kong Yong and their Thai accomplices – four men and five women for broadcasting baccarat games via a webcam on ok2628.com.
The Thailand officers also seized five televisions, 16 computers, two closed-circuit cameras, and four baccarat tables. During the raid of the office – leased to a Thai woman Chatduan Maneesawangwong, 37, since September – police found two men in tuxedos dealing casino game cards to the webcams for gamblers to bet via the Internet.
