Burmese woman seeks justice after being allegedly drugged and robbed by Iranian boxer in Bangkok
25-year-old Nang Mwe Hlaing filed a complaint accusing her ex-boyfriend, Iranian boxer Maleki Behnam, of drugging her and stealing over a million baht in cash and valuables from her Bangkok condominium in December 2023. She suspected another Iranian man, Behnam's friend, was involved in the theft. Despite recovering some items, the case remains unresolved, and Nang Mwe Hlaing lives in fear of retaliation.
