A key suspect in last month's deadly Bangkok blast paid a US$600 (RM2,600) bribe to illegally enter Thailand, police said today, highlighting widespread corruption at the kingdom's borders.
Adem Karadag, one of two foreigners arrested in connection with the August 17 attack, was detained at a flat in eastern Bangkok late last month.
Police say he was found in possession of bomb-making paraphernalia and dozens of fake Turkish passports.
Karadag's role has not been explained by police, but say they now know more about how he came to be in Thailand.
