Case Summary：
(一)Criminal Investigation Bureau Liaison Office in Thailand (hereinafter referred to as the “Liaison Office in Thailand”) received a report from Thai Immigration Bureau stating that a passenger was attempting to enter Thailand on a flight from Cambodia with a suspected forged Taiwanese passport.The Liaison Office in Thailand immediately notified the International Criminal Affairs Division of the Criminal Investigation Bureau. The passenger’s true identity was confirmed to be a Taiwanese drug offender, Huang, through data verification and comparison. Huang had sent a parcel containing approximately 3 kilograms of ketamine from Thailand to Taiwan in 2020 and 2021.In order to prevent Huang from being released on bail, the Liaison Office in Thailand promptly compiled evidence of his involvement in the crime and submitted an official letter to the Thai Immigration Bureau, requesting that the case be reported to the Thai court to seek Huang’s detention based on the evidence provided.
(二)The Liaison Office in Thailand continued to work with the Consular Affairs Office of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Thailand to examine the forged and altered passports held by Huang, confirming that the documents had been fabricated by replacing the original information in genuine passports belonging to others.Huang’s purpose for entering Thailand on this occasion was to collect an approved Elite Visa. Fortunately, through close cooperation between police in Taiwan and Thailand, Huang was successfully intercepted and identified as a drug offender wanted in Taiwan. uang had previously been sentenced to 10 years and 6 months of imprisonment after three trials for a major drug trafficking offense. His illegal entry into Thailand this time also constituted a violation of the National Security Act. In response, the Criminal Investigation Bureau submitted a request to the Taipei District Prosecutors Office to issue a wanted notice for Huang.
(三)Huang was serving a sentence in Thailand for committing a crime involving the use of a forged passport. He completed his sentence in May 2025. After coordination with the Thai police, it is planned to have “Huang” escorted back to Taiwan to face justice by the Criminal Investigation Bureau’s police liaison officer and the Ministry of Justice Investigation Bureau’s legal liaison officer, both stationed in Thailand, jointly on the afternoon of June 12.
(四)The Criminal Investigation Bureau emphasized that the law enforcement personnel of Taiwan and Thailand had demonstrated a profound understanding and cross-border cooperation in this case. Through international collaboration, we successfully arrested and repatriated fugitives who attempted to evade judicial prosecution in Taiwan by fleeing abroad. This operation highlights the determination of Taiwanese police to enforce the law and combat crime. Moving forward, Taiwan police will continue to deepen bilateral police-government cooperation, intensify efforts against transnational drug crimes, and work to maintain social order and public safety in both countries.
