泰国移民警察局在曼谷抓获中国籍网赌平台经营者刘某：平台流水逾500亿泰铢、账户逾4000个
泰国移民警察局第一分局11月12日在曼谷素坤逸至亿甲迈一带的高档公寓楼下便利店，抓获一名41岁的中国籍男子刘某。刘某被中国警方以涉嫌开设赌场通缉，泰国警方说，他经营的足球网络赌博平台「皇冠网络」（Huangguan Internet）拥有超过4000个用户账户，累计资金流水超过500亿泰铢，约合110亿元人民币。
泰国警方说，这次行动的线索由中国驻泰国大使馆经泰国国家警察总署外事部门提供。移民警察局第一分局监控刘某的住处与活动规律五天，发现他长期藏身公寓、极少外出，11月12日趁他下楼到便利店购买食物和生活用品时将其抓获。
刘某向警方承认自己是该网赌平台的经营者，并说自己起初只是一名足球爱好者，后来沉迷足球投注，从普通玩家一步步成为平台合伙人并实际经营。他持合法签证进入泰国后一直低调藏匿。
移民警察局第一分局已下令撤销刘某的在泰居留许可，并将他移交移民警察调查部门，等待依法拘留并遣返回中国。平台的运营模式、资金流向与其他涉案人员仍在调查中。

Thai Immigration Police Arrest Chinese Online Gambling Operator Liu in Bangkok: Platform Handled Over 50 Billion Baht Across More Than 4,000 Accounts
Officers from Immigration Division 1 of the Thai Immigration Bureau arrested a 41-year-old Chinese man, identified only as Liu, on November 12 at a convenience store below his luxury condominium in Bangkok's Sukhumvit-Ekkamai area. Thai police said Liu is wanted in China on suspicion of operating a gambling house, and that his football betting platform, Huangguan Internet, had more than 4,000 user accounts and cumulative turnover of over 50 billion baht, roughly 11 billion yuan.
Police said the tip came from the Chinese Embassy in Thailand, passed through the Royal Thai Police's Foreign Affairs Division. Immigration Division 1 officers watched Liu's residence and movements for five days and found that he rarely left the condominium; they arrested him on November 12 when he came down to a convenience store to buy food and supplies.
Liu told police he owned the platform, and said he had started out as a football fan who became addicted to betting, moving from ordinary player to partner and operator of the site. He had entered Thailand on a valid visa and kept a low profile while hiding there.
Immigration Division 1 has revoked Liu's permission to stay in Thailand and transferred him to the bureau's investigation division for detention and deportation to China under the law. The platform's operations, money flows and other suspects remain under investigation.
