Thai police recently arrested six police officers and one civilian after a Chinese-Vanuatu citizen filed a complaint accusing them of staging a fake arrest and extorting 165,000 USDT. The Chinese man, identified only as Sai, alleges that the rogue officers and their accomplices, including a Chinese couple acting as interpreters, used fraudulent legal threats to extort stablecoins from his family.

According to a local report, a group of nine police officers and three civilians were involved in the scheme. On Oct. 30, the group descended on Sai’s home brandishing what appeared to be a legitimate search warrant.

Relying on the fake warrant, the officers reportedly seized mobile phones and a computer belonging to Sai’s family before threatening to charge them with employing illegal domestic workers. The rogue officers demanded 10 million USDT in exchange for dropping the charges.

However, the Chinese citizen denied the charges and insisted that he did not have the local currency equivalent of the demanded amount. After the rogue officers took Sai and his wife to the police station for further interrogation, Sai relented and agreed to pay the reduced bribe of 165,000 USDT, or 5.6 million baht.

Upon receiving the funds, the police gang reportedly created false documents and forced Sai, his wife, and two others to record a video dismissing the charges. While the mobile phones were eventually returned, the computer was not. Suspecting a scam, Sai hired a lawyer to investigate the case, and on Oct. 22, he filed criminal charges against the implicated officers, leading to their arrest.

Meanwhile, the alleged rogue officers, aged 41 to 49, denied the charges against them. According to the report, the officers were released on temporary bail, and the National Anti-Corruption Commission, which is investigating the case, is expected to release its findings within 30 days of the complaint.
