A FILIPINO couple wanted under as many as 150 arrest warrants for investment fraud were rounded up in Thailand at the request of the Philippines embassy, Naewna newspaper said.
Pol. Lt. Gen. Phanumas Boonnalak, head of Immigration Police, and his team said at a press conference that there was also an Interpol red notice for the arrest of Mr. Cerrone, 46, and Mrs. Marve, 47, for “jointly committing fraud in a network that deceived people into investing”
The couple had fled to Thailand after scamming a large number of victims in their home country leading to a pile of 150 arrest warrants being issued against them.
The Immigration Bureau initially revoked their visa and placed them on a blacklist of individuals prohibited from entering the country.
The Filipino couple were later found to be residing in a rented house at Cha-am seaside town and were taken to Immigration Bureau subdivision 3 for detention pending further legal proceedings.
The couple told police that they were both presidents of an investment company in the Philippines that ran into financial problems leading to heavy losses. As warrants were issued for their arrest they fled to Thailand with their family.
