In response to media queries, the arrest of the suspect was the result of strong cooperation between the law enforcement agencies of Singapore and Thailand.
The Singapore authorities have written to the Thai authorities to seek their assistance to repatriate the suspect to Singapore. In addition, Singapore has made a mutual legal assistance request to the Thai authorities to seek their assistance to forward the evidence seized from the suspect to Singapore. If the Thai authorities are unable to return the suspect directly to Singapore we will pursue the suspect’s return from whichever country Thailand eventually decides to send the suspect to.
