A 54-year-old Israeli man allegedly lured women to his Bangkok condo through dating apps, fed them cakes suspected of containing drugs, and secretly filmed sexual encounters.
Thai police arrested him on Friday, discovering he had overstayed his visa by 2,095 days, nearly six years.
Officers seized 15 grams of crystal meth, 50 packaging bags, a digital scale, suspected drug-laced cakes, and a phone containing numerous sexual recordings.
During the arrest, the man reportedly claimed powerful connections would secure his release within two hours. He threatened to have the entire arresting team transferred or fired and allegedly threatened to kill one officer.
