INTERPOL seeks public's help to identify man

INTERPOL seeks publicтАЩs help to identify man photographed sexually abusing childre

Operation Vico

INTERPOL is making a public worldwide request for assistance in identifying a man photographed sexually abusing children in a series of images posted on the Internet, the first time the organization has made such an appeal.

Although the original photographs had been digitally altered by him or his accomplices to disguise his face, specialists from the Bundeskriminalamt (BKA) in Germany working with INTERPOLтАЩs Trafficking in Human Beings unit have been able to produce an identifiable picture.

Despite extensive global efforts to identify and locate this individual through INTERPOLтАЩs network of 186 National Central Bureaus and specialist units, the manтАЩs identity and nationality still remain unknown.

Wrong!

The report says that the guy is working as a teacher in Seoul but is now in Thailand.

The suspected child abuser was identified by five different sources from three continents as a man teaching English at a school in South Korea, Interpol said.

Semantics anyhow. This guy is fucked no matter where he's from, where he goes or what he's teaching!

I say good riddance to bad rubbish!

More images can be found on the Interpol website. http://www.interpol.int/

On Monday the police organization released an image of the suspect taken by security cameras at Bangkok airport last Thursday after he flew in from Seoul. He looks significantly older and balder. from AP Wire today

I think I can feel a " JonBennet Ramsay's killer arrested in Thailand" moment coming on.

BKK Post reports that the Thai police have stated that the man is a 32-year-old Canadian.

"The suspect flew from South Korea to Bangkok last Thursday, where security cameras documented his arrival at immigration, the Lyon-France based organisation said, citing help from South Korean and Thai authorities.

Interpol has also determined the man's name, nationality, date of birth, passport number and current and previous work places, but provided none of those details in its statement.

However, Thai police were not so reticent and said the man was a 32-year-old Canadian".

The BBC say the Thai police name him as Christopher Paul Neil, a 32-year-old Canadian, and said they believed he was in Thailand.

OPERATION VICO : Interpol's wanted paedophile is now in Thailand

The man photographed sexually abusing young children in Vietnam and Cambodia (Vico) in images posted on the Internet is now believed to be in Thailand, Interpol online confirmed.

An image of Vico sent to Interpol following its worldwide appeal for information on his identity

Intense investigative support from authorities in South Korea and Thailand revealed the man flew from Seoul to Bangkok International Airport on Thursday, 11 October, with security cameras documenting his arrival at immigration at 3.26pm.

'Thailand is at the centre of an international manhunt, and authorities in the country, in co-operation with Interpol and police around the world, are hunting him down,' said Secretary General Ronald K. Noble.

As a result of information provided to Interpol by five different sources from three continents, the suspected child abuser labelled 'Vico,' was identified as a man teaching English at a school in South Korea.

Within three days of the appeal, working with its National Central Bureaus around the world Interpol had also established the suspect's name, nationality, date of birth, passport number, and current and previous places of work.

'The response and contribution we have had from the public has been remarkable, as has the support from the media, which has enabled officers in our specialised unit, our office in Bangkok and police in other member countries to make such remarkable progress in such a short space of time.

'We must once again enlist the public's support, this time to pinpoint Vico's current location.'

More than 350 people worldwide contacted Interpol in response to its appeal for assistance for Operation Vico.

The man pictured sexually abusing 12 different young boys in Vietnam and Cambodia in a series of around 200 images could otherwise not be identified, Interpol said.

Anyone with information on the man's current whereabouts is asked to contact their local police or Interpol via its website, www.interpol.int (http://www.interpol.int)

The suspect is an 32 years old Canadian.

My guess, he'll head straight for Pattaya and Sunee Plaza.

Where else would he go? It's only obvious.

According to the UK Daily Telegraph the Thai police say he has now left the country for Vietnam:

"Interpol names suspected internet paedophile

A suspected paedophile who posted photos of himself apparently abusing young children on the internet has been named by police as the international hunt for him continues.

Interpol officials in Thailand said they are searching for Christopher Paul Neil, who is thought to be an English language teacher working in South Korea. Interpol has released a picture of the suspect, believed to be the 32-year-old Canadian national, arriving in Thailand last week.

The man flew into BangkokтАЩs Suvarnabhumi airport from Seoul and was photographed at 3.26 pm last Thursday. Thai police sources said last night that the suspect had since flown to Vietnam".

Yeah, Lunchtime, and if not that media frenzy you mention, then the Justin Berry hoax that you can read about here:
http://www.alternet.org/rights/64081/?page=entire

These stories are a riot as are the people who get off on them as well.

Part of this newsreel says (I will cut and paste, then I will get it right this time):

Border guards in the three South-East Asian countries were on alert after the suspect arrived in Bangkok from the South Korean capital, Seoul, on a one-way, full-fare ticket last week, said Interpol officer Mick Moran, who is leading the manhunt.

The Canadian, who had been teaching English in Asia, had given a false address on his Thai immigration form, he said

They are also searching for children he allegedly abused and took photos of, said Interpol's chief in Thailand, Panaspong Sirawongse.

"There were three boys he had abused. One boy has been identified and is being sought, two others have not been identified," Mr Panaspong said.

more a lot of pre-judging and jumping to the conclusion that everything we are told by authorities ia actually true.

With the nutter in the JonBennet Ramsay case, he simply saw a way to get himself back to the US and authorities helpfully obliged ( in Business Class) , inviting the media along , spending a fortune when they probably could have cleared it up with one sensible interview.

most media still refer to him as the 'suspect'..he never was until he self appointed himself...and the world went along.

dare I mention the name: McCanns ?
