Police in Pattaya apprehended a 34 year old woman from Uzbekistan following an Interpol red notice issued for her involvement in human trafficking.
The Uzbek woman, Gumi, is accused of luring young women into prostitution in Uzbekistan, according to Police Colonel Naphasapong Khositsuriyamanee, chief of the Chon Buri Immigration Bureau.
Gumi fled to Thailand after Uzbek authorities detained several members of her trafficking network during a recent police operation. Thai police, upon verifying her documents, discovered that her visa had expired.
“She was sent to the Pattaya Police Station to acknowledge the overstay charge.”
A police spokesperson added that deportation proceedings would follow, reported Bangkok Post.
