A fugitive French 'scammer' has been arrested in Pattaya, Thailand over fraud and money laundering charges in his home country.

Julien Luc Marc Aubourdier, 43, was detained by police at his house in the Thai 'sin city' for allegedly causing some 370 million baht (around 10.6 million USD) in damages.

He was accused of falsifying tax reimbursement documents linked to the company Sport Car Co.

The French embassy and Europol notified Thai immigration police that Julien had fled to Thailand.

In a press conference today, Police Major General Kamphon Leelaprapaphorn, ChonBuri police commander, said Julien had entered Thailand thrice on a visa that expired on January 3.

Police have charged the suspected fraudster with overstaying and are preparing to extradite him to France to face legal charges.

Kamphon said: 'Anyone who has information on suspected foreign criminals in Chon Buri should report to the police so an investigation can be launched immediately.'
