Suspected Slovakian embezzler captured on Koh Samui
KOH SAMUI: A Slovakian man suspected of siphoning of 283,000 euros (about 10.9 million baht) while working as a hospital director in Zlate Moravce City was arrested in Koh Samui earlier this week.
Police arrested Michal Grujbar, 38, in front of a Koh Samui hotel and initially charged him with overstaying his visa.
“Police investigators later learned that the Slovakian court and Interpol had issued arrest warrants for him in 2012 and alerted all 190 member countries to keep a lookout for him,” said Transnational Crime Coordination Centre deputy chief Suchat Theerasawat at a press conference held at the Royal Thai Police head office in Bangkok today.
Col Suchat said the suspect had admitted to being the same person as the one wanted by Interpol.
