(Bangkok/Chiang Mai, 10th – Comprehensive Report) The Thai Anti-Cyber Scam Center (ACSC), in cooperation with the Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) Technology Crime Suppression Division, Chiang Mai Immigration Police, and Immigration Bureaus Region 1 and 5, successfully apprehended three Chinese nationals wanted for arrest on January 9.
The trio were wanted by the Chang’an Branch of the Public Security Bureau in Shijiazhuang, China, for allegedly illegally soliciting public deposits. Their Chinese passports had already been revoked, and Thailand canceled their residency permits on January 6.
It is reported that Yang (41, overall leader) and Wang (46, responsible for finance and administration) were arrested at an apartment in Huai Khwang District, Bangkok, while Li (46, responsible for marketing) was arrested at a residence in Hang Dong District, Chiang Mai.
Chinese police investigations revealed that since September 2015, the three had registered and established “Jihui (Hainan) Enterprise Management Consulting Co., Ltd.” to illegally raise funds from the public without approval, promising high returns and developing the “Jihui Jinfu App” as an investment platform. Victims’ funds were directly controlled by the headquarters’ finance department, and the promised investment returns never materialized, resulting in losses exceeding 1.6 billion RMB (approximately 7 billion Thai Baht) and impacting more than 8,000 victims.
On September 24, 2025, the Public Security Bureau in Shijiazhuang approved arrest warrants for the three, but they had already fled China and entered Thailand via multiple countries and student visas. After receiving information regarding their whereabouts, Thai police canceled their residency permits according to legal procedures and, with search warrants, raided residences in Bangkok and Chiang Mai to make the arrests. The three have been detained, and the Chinese Embassy in Thailand has been notified. Follow-up action will proceed according to extradition procedures.
Police investigations show that the three did not commit crimes or have connections with Thai victims during their stay in Thailand. In preliminary interrogation, Li denied knowledge and claimed to be merely a “nominee account holder”; Yang and Wang admitted knowledge of the case in China and stated they had lived low-profile lives in Thailand to avoid detection.
Thai police stated that this operation demonstrates the effectiveness of international cooperation between Chinese and Thai law enforcement, prevents criminal groups from continuing their activities in Thailand, showcases the national police force’s zero-tolerance stance toward transnational crime, and builds public confidence in law enforcement for both countries.
