Police said he was wanted on an arrest warrant issued by court in Herlev, northwest of Copenhagen, reports Bangkokpost.com Jensen fled to Thailand in November last year, after he was accused of fraud and falsifying documents in Denmark. Police said he bought a car with counterfeit documents, and defrauded businesses of about 30 million baht in August 2006.
