He identified the suspect as Nan Mying Thein Aye, 41. “Evidence suggests she used jewellery shops and hotels both on the Thai and Myanmar sides as fronts,” he said. However, Nan Mying Thein Aye denied any wrongdoing, telling Thai authorities that she had operated currency exchange shops in Thailand and Myanmar. NSB acting deputy chief Pol Maj-General Tanai Apichartsenee said an arrest warrant had been issued for Nan Mying Thein Aye on May 15. “Our investigation suggests she might have transferred illicit money belonging to drug traffickers from Thailand to Myanmar,” he said.
