An officer presents an arrest warrant to a seated airline passenger, reads him his rights and prepares cable ties as the man looks out the window. The arrest takes place aboard a South Korea-bound aircraft at Hanoi Airport in Vietnam.

South Korea's Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation reports that the man, in his twenties, is suspected of involvement in a Vietnam-based group accused of defrauding South Korean construction businesses. Footage credited to Seoul police shows his hands being secured before officers later escort him through an airport.

The report describes a construction version of a "no-show" scam: callers allegedly posed as military officials offering building projects, then instructed contractors to pay designated suppliers upfront for materials. Those suppliers were fake, according to the report.

The alleged operation was based in Ha Long, Vietnam. Images of seized laptops, Telegram messages and call logs accompany the account of how contractors were approached. The broadcaster says the scheme took 1.55 billion won from 62 businesses between November and June.

According to the report, the group largely consisted of hometown acquaintances or former school peers in their twenties and thirties, with separate management and calling roles. All nine suspected members have been arrested and referred to prosecutors.

The closing warning concerns variations on the same approach: fraudsters impersonating fire stations or local governments, using forged official documents to demand inspections and payments.
