The young couple went missing after buying luxury goods on behalf of others.
Later, the police arrested the husband and ordered the couple to hand over their passports. However, the two were smuggled out of the country. It is said that they have fled to Thailand to hide. Now the two are wanted by the police and Interpol all over the world.
More details of the man surfaced online and it states that the man was an ex shoes salesman.
After the news was exposed, it attracted a lot of attention. The police issued a statement on Tuesday (July 19) saying that since June this year, the police have received more than 180 related reports. But never received the goods.
On June 27, police arrested a 26-year-old man accused of fraud and released him on bail the next day but withheld his passport. His 27-year-old wife also assisted in the investigation and handed over her passport on June 30, but the two subsequently lost contact.
