Ho Chi Minh City police on Wednesday handed over a 44-year-old wanted South Korean man to Korean police.
Cha Je Kiy was arrested by HCMC police one day earlier. According to Korean police, Cha and his accomplice Nam Kuk Heon swindled 139 people in South Korea for US$678,000 in 2006.
After these frauds, both fled to Vietnam and established a business to conceal their identity.
In July 2009 due to visa expiry, they returned to South Korea and continued with their frauds before flying back to Vietnam in February 2010.
In April 2010, South Korean Interpol sent an official letter to ask the Vietnamese police to help arrest the criminals. Short after, Cha’s accomplice, Nam Kuk Heon, was also arrested in HCMC.
After fleeing to Vietnam, Cha was reported to live with a woman in Phuoc Long A Ward, District 9 in HCMC and have a four-year-old child out of wedlock. He always changed his residence in Districts 2, 4 and 9 to avoid the police’s watch.
Representatives from South Korean Consulate General in HCMC expressed their thanks for assistance from Vietnamese police in arresting the criminals.
