(Narcotics Suppression Bureau photo)Arrested drug traffickers have alleged some celebrities and people in high society help hide the assets of alleged drug kingpin Xaysana Keopimpha, Narcotics Suppression Bureau commissioner Sommai Kongwisaisuk said in Bangkok on Wednesday. Pol Lt Gen Sommai identified them as Mang Yangkhiri, 38, Kanokwipa Yangkhiri, 38, and Paisert sae Yang, 40, from Phop Phra district, Tak. The three suspects were part of the drug network allegedly run by Mr Xaysana, a citizen of Laos and alleged major trafficker. Some produced drugs themselves, but were not capable of exporting them like Mr Xaysana, Pol Lt Gen Sommai said. Police arrested Mr Xaysana at Suvarnabhumi airport on Jan 19 when he arrived on a flight from Phuket.
