DSI deputy chief Pol Lt Colonel Prawuth Wongsinil said the department was waiting for the police to hand over responsibility for the case. He said the Land Department in 2003 revoked CPK’s Nor Sor Sam Gor (NS-3K) certificates of land use and officials who issued the document had been punished. Prawuth said the DSI would investigate the origin of the SK-1 certificates the firm used to apply for NS-3K status because there were suspicions about the processing. They are directors of CPK International, as is Premchai, and appeared before police earlier this month to answer charges of forest encroachment. Premchai does not have signatory power at CPK and is not directly involved in this case.
