Deputy Police Commander says Premchai case file solid

 

 

BANGKOK, 27th March 2018 (NNT) – The Deputy Commander of the Royal Thai Police has voiced his confidence that the case file on Italian Thai Development Co Ltd CEO Premchai Karnasutra and three others accused of illegal hunting in Tungyai Naresuan Wildlife Sanctuary is strong, but indicated that police are ready to present more evidence if needed by the Office of the Attorney General (OAG). 

Deputy Commander of the Royal Thai Police, Pol Gen Sriwara Rangsiphramnakul has explained that the OAG did not return the case file for a second time after it was resubmitted on March 22 but rather commissioned additional questioning, stating his own confidence in the strength of the file. 

Investigators have filed an additional charge of violating the Customs Department Act against Premchai after he failed to produce any documentation for African Elephant Ivory found in his home. An assessment by the Customs Department given to police on March 23 indicated the ivory is worth a combined 4 million baht. 

At the same time, Premchai has been hit with a 13 million baht damage charge by the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation over his trip’s impact on Tungyai Naresuan Wildlife Sanctuary. 

Pol Gen Sriwara announced today that he has ordered all investigation teams to submit their final files to the OAG by March 30. 

Premchai and the three others involved in the case yesterday (March 26) reported to Thong Pha Phum Court to sign off on their fifth round of detention. They met with court authorities for 15 minutes and acknowledged their next appearance on April 9 before leaving without speaking to the media.

Well if you have a surplus of evidence, then he’s definitely going down, right? 

 

Oh, no need to keep telling us how confident you are and how solid the case is, this fat slug was caught red-handed.

So the more spin on this, the more he has to cough up in millions of baht to them for the split among themselves, then he walks free with a Wai, right ?

All talk, no action

All this talk about more evidence, is just another way of getting Premchai to cough up more money.

So they can have a big divvy up at police hq.

 There will be a lot of omelette to be consumed if he walks, but on the other hand a lot of smiling hi-class car sales people, real estate sellers and travel agents and mia nois.

...apart from the fact that the police have submitted the case to the OAG so there is no more action that the police could have taken, now it's up to the prosecutors, so you were completely wrong.

The case in question is no doubt solid. They're likely to throw the book at him for entering the park without paying, and taking a dump in front of his car...

Yep, now the next level of the food chain gets their feast, the prosecutors can now commence putting the squeeze on him.

‘Were’ completely wrong? What’s that supposed to mean? He was wrong but now he’s right?
