PATTAYA: A 64-year-old French man wanted by the United States' Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has been arrested in Chon Buri province, Thailand Thursday on charges related to child pornography.
The arrest of suspect Rachid Abdel Kader and the search of his house in Soi Rung Land in Southern Pattaya involved a collaboration between the FBI, Thailand's Department of Special Investigation and the Chon Buri immigration police.
Officers seized pornographic photos and video clips of Thai girls allegedly found on Kader's home computer and on CDs and brought the man for interrogation at the Chon Buri immigration checkpoint office.
Office superintendent Pol Colonel Songprod Sirisukha said Kader had spent the past decade in Pattaya after retiring. An FBI investigation recently discovered Kader had profited from downloading child pornography and sharing the materials within a group.
Officers were confident they had strong evidence against the man and transferred him to the Muang Chon Buri police station for processing on charges of possessing and seeking to profit from child pornography. – The Nation/Asia News Network
