BANGKOK: A 19-year-old Malaysian man became the latest suspect arrested by Thai police in their investigations into a ‘Macau Scam’ syndicate headed by a Taiwanese gangster.

“The 19 year-old from Malacca admitted it was he who rented the condominium for 87,000 Baht per month (about RM10,800), but denied all other allegations (of involvement with the Macau Scam syndicate or beatings suffered by the woman),” a Thai police source involved with the investigation told Bernama.
