NAIA security staff suspended, to face charges for extorting from Thai tourist

The video posted on Facebook on Feb. 22 purportedly shows a departing Thai national requesting a female security screening officer to return the money she took from him. The staff was later seen handing the tourist the money, which OTS said amounted to 20,000 yen or roughly 8,000, and begging the person taking the clip to delete the video.

In another video, the female staff can be seen putting something in the pocket of a male personnel who was manning the X-ray machine.

OTS said administrative charges are being prepared against the workers, but it is also looking to file criminal charges against the erring personnel.

It, however, did not state how many employees will be punished.
