BANGKOK, Jan 14 — An American with an outstanding arrest warrant in the United States in a US$93 million fraud case was arrested in Bangkok Friday after fleeing to live in Thailand for two years, according to the Metropolitan Police Bureau Division 7 in Bangkok.

Richard Earl Saunder, 63, was arrested at Niran Condominium 4 in suburban Bangkok’s Don Mueang district after the US embassy asked for cooperation following reports that Mr Saunder was staying in Thailand. The Thai police investigated and located the suspect at the condominium before arresting him.

The fugitive was avoiding arrest under the terms of a warrant issued by a state of Louisiana court in the United States.
