Premchai, wife and friend in court over poaching charges

By The Nation

 

 

Premchai Karnasuta, the embattled CEO of the Italian-Thai Development company, accompanied by his wife Kanitha and her close aid Wandee Sompoom, reported to a judge at Bangkok's Ratchadapisek Criminal Court on Monday morning over a charge of illegal possession of endangered wildlife carcasses.
 

All three had been bailed in the sum of Bt300,000 and during the police investigation all had denied any wrongdoing.

 

The court used the hearing to assess their evidence and then arranged for an evidence/witness review session to be held on June 25 at 1.30pm.

 

The seizure of the ivory tusks in question from Premchai’s house in Bangkok - along with 43 guns - was the result of an investigation after Premchai was arrested in early February on nine counts of poaching in a Kanchanaburi wildlife sanctuary.

 

Kanitha was identified as the person who had registered the ivory – it was later deemed to be the tusks of African elephants - with the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation.

 

Wandee is accused of countersigning the permit application as a witness to falsely verify that the tusks were from local elephants.

Hi-so panther penis eater believes he is too important to be punished.

I wonder if the Caucasian man behind Premchai is one of his lawyers or business associates?

A girl i know was arrested for having 1gram of Ya Ice. Her bail at Pattaya Provincial Court in Jomtien was set at 500,000 baht. After pleading guilty she was sentenced to 2 years in Nong Palai Prison.

...with a mountain of evidence...dragging this on....

 

...let's see if they are not all let off the hook.....

 

...maybe a token fine....

Well, what a fine example of a Thai business executive - in most other countries he would be thrown into the slammer to rot - here in Thailand ........... 
But since the judges are sitting soon in their (ill-)gotten villas at the foot of Doi Suthep there is hope that law will be implemented?
