Phra Phrom Methee reportedly fled Wat Sa Ket (the Golden Mount) just before the police raid last week, and wound up in Germany via Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam and Qatar. The former assistant abbot of Wat Samphanthawong, whose layman name is Chamnong Iamintra, has reportedly now been detained in Germany. The Lao woman, named Jan, was suspected of making travel arrangements for the former monk in her home country. The fugitive ex-monk was reported to have been detained at an immigration office at the airport there following his arrival. His official Thai passport was also reported to have been revoked by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
