PHUKET: An arrest warrant issued by the Netherlands resulted today in the apprehension of a man who allegedly has been selling large quantities of maijuana and may be involved in money laundering.
Johannes Petrus Maria van Laarhoven, 53, grew large amounts of marijuana indoors at his property near Pattaya, officials in Thailand said today.
The business of shipping and selling the marijuana to the Netherlands netted between 400 million and 800 million baht a year, according to Department of Special Investigation and National Anti-Money Laundering Office officials.
Gold and two guns were found on the property, valued at about 100 million baht, where Mr van Laarhoven was held today.
The sale of majijuana in the Netherlands is legal but only with government approval.
