A 74‑year‑old German fugitive wanted by Interpol was arrested in Buri Ram on Saturday on charges of sexually abusing his young stepson, who had previously moved with his Thai mother to live with the man in Germany.
The suspect, who refused to give his name, had been prosecuted under German law but later fled court proceedings and absconded to Thailand, said Pol Maj Gen Phairat Phukcharoen, commander of Immigration Bureau Division 4.
