Pareena probe result in AprilPareena KraikuptThe National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) has said that the investigation into allegations of a false assets declaration made against MP Pareena Kraikupt in relation to 1,700 rai of land will take six months. The Royal Forest Department on Monday pressed charges against Ms Pareena for encroaching on 46 rai of public forest land in Ratchaburi province. She was also found to own a 691-rai plot in an area reserved for poor farmers under the land reform policy governed by the Agricultural Land Reform Office (Alro). An occupant is allowed to use no more than 50 rai of the reform land for agriculture. He refused to answer when asked why Ms Pareena had declared she owns the land, saying the truth will emerge soon.
