Interpol Red Notice Fugitive Arrested on Fishing Boat in Sattahip
Chonburi Immigration Police have apprehended a 41-year-old Cambodian national wanted for human trafficking while he was working on a fishing vessel.
According to a report by Thai Post on August 21, 2026, Chonburi Immigration officers successfully arrested a 41-year-old Cambodian man who was the subject of an Interpol Red Notice. The individual had been evading authorities by working aboard a fishing boat docked in the Sattahip district of Chonburi province.
The suspect is wanted in connection with human trafficking charges, an offense that carries a maximum penalty of life imprisonment. Authorities tracked the individual to the maritime vessel, leading to his apprehension.
For residents and travelers, this incident highlights the ongoing efforts by Thai immigration authorities to monitor and enforce international warrants within the country’s maritime and industrial sectors. While the arrest confirms the suspect's presence in the region, details regarding the specific timeline of his entry into Thailand and the exact nature of the trafficking operations he is accused of remain subject to further investigation by law enforcement agencies. As this is an active legal matter, the full extent of his involvement and the subsequent judicial proceedings will be determined by the relevant courts in due course.
