The chief of the “Dong Ma-I botanical garden of literature” in Thailand’s north-eastern province of Roi-et was transferred for three days today (Tuesday), pending an investigation into his possible complicity in the theft of seized rosewood (Dalbergia cochinchinensis) by about 30 men, several of whom were armed, last Saturday.

 

The department’s director-general Atthaphon Charoenchansa said today (Tuesday) that an initial investigation found something suspicious about the chief of the garden, Wison Kudtalang.

 

For instance, he said, the robbery took place on Saturday night, but Wison reported the incident to the department at noon the following day, instead of immediately because incident was very serious.

Atthaphon said that the garden chief must clear himself of suspicion.
